Meet "Dax", my idea for a mascot (not official).
I like both the "blue monster campaign" and SIlverlight and given I'm dabbling around in 3D at the moment, I decided to play around with the idea of combining the two.
Note: This is not the official mascot for Silverlight, instead it's simply me mucking around with 3D. Please do not use this in anyway in conjunction with Microsoft branding.
Here's "Dax" as I'd like to call him (why? dunno but Dax just stuck out as a cute name for the little guy). He's currently sitting in a surgical chair because he made fun of Flashbots new upgrades. He said they were rushed a bit to and looked like he just raided a dead storm trooper for them.
Flashbot obviously disagrees.
I'm so i love with these two cool characters, that I'm using them in my PowerPoint decks next week (TechReady 6 - Internal Microsoft conference in Seattle next week).
Here are some other picks

(Fig 2 - Here are your "Go Do's")
(Fig 3 - Putting Flashbot under the ...drill?)
(Fig 4 - Title Screen.. FLashbot's so proud of his new helmet)

(Fig 6 - Flashbot pinned to the wall heh.)
