Megadeth Turns to Online Artists to Revamp Mascot
A Reuters newswire article by Gelu Sulugiuc, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Heavy metal veterans Megadeth have turned to an online community of artists to redesign their longtime mascot, Vic Rattlehead.
Dave Mustaine, the band's founder, singer and guitarist, ran into licensing issues with the artist who originally drew the mascot in the early 1980s based on Mustaine's idea -- a skull with jaws wired shut, steel visor and metal earplugs.
So he started a contest on Internet site deviantART, where 2 million members post photographs, traditional and digital art, and even poetry.
