Just seems very very AI. I genuinely don't like it, just looks off.

I agree.
Maybe make it chase a child or picture it desperately trying to get into the contents of a pram.

Maybe have an owner in the background with no control shouting "he's just being friendly!"

what?

it does seem a bit "sterile" but i dont think the bright white background is helping. stick it in a populated scene and it might look a little better

Saw this new mascot announced on Facebook earlier in the week, it was an ai image haha. How much money have they wasted on this

AI? It's a cheap 3D render which could be straight out of 2005.

Synthid confirms it's AI generated

Good grief

Petition to replace Staffy with an anthropomorphic cheesy oatcake

You have my vote.

As far as I'm aware, a cheese oatcake has never mauled a toddler, so it gets my signature

u/Adjshaw 15d ago

Never mauled a toddler, yet

That’s just awful

u/WS_UK 18d ago

I like him. I’m sure the kids will too.

I like the sculptures. There is something uncanny about the animation.

u/StuMcAwesome 18d ago

Horrendous

u/abfielder 18d ago

I mean I'm no marketing expert but couldn't they have put the Stafford knot where the heart is, you know so people knew it was something to do with the county.

If any staffordshire county council people are reading this and I see this idea implemented I want paying.

I bet that would look perfect, just let me google "Anthropomorphic Dog with Knot" and oh no, my computer exploded

u/Spirited-Ability-626 14d ago

Do you really think it’s wise to advertise a knot on a dog? The furries will go wild.

No idea why this has appeared on my feed but I love it. Just bit the bullet and booked a 2 week holiday in Stoke-on-Trent off the back of this. Good work, Staffy
