(Designer-ready, copyright-safe)
Project Name
TAPIA Tornadoes – Member Identity Mascot
Objective
Create an original cartoon tornado character that represents TAPIA members as protectors of insureds and defenders against bad-faith insurance practices. The character should feel grassroots, tough, and member-driven, not corporate or childish.
TAPIA members are “TAPIA Tornadoes”—a force of nature that cuts through delay, denial, and underpayment.
Suggestions:
Tornado incorporating or holding a scale of justice
Justice should feel earned and hard-fought, not polished
Scales can be formed from wind, debris, or metal lines
Texas Version
Tornado interacting with the outline of Texas
Texas may be shielded, lifted, or framed by the storm
Subtle Texas pride, not tourist imagery
Visual Style Guidelines (Important)
Original design only – no resemblance to known cartoon tornadoes or mascots
No gloves, no shoes, no exaggerated teeth
Avoid smooth Disney-style curves
Favor:
Asymmetrical shapes
Dynamic motion lines
Slightly gritty, hand-drawn feel
Expression: determined, focused, resilient (not goofy)
Color Direction
Limited palette (2–4 colors max)
High contrast for screen printing
Avoid primary-cartoon color schemes
Neutral enough to work on dark or light shirts
Include:
“TAPIA Tornadoes”
“Defending the Insured”
Typography should feel bold and independent, not institutional.
Legal & Rights Requirement
Artwork must be 100% original.
All commercial rights assigned to TAPIA.
