This troper has almost accidentally invoked this trope onto the TASVideos website with his video encode logos, which end up being relatively widespread. Luckily, this seems to be an Averted Trope, due to the fact that other encoders picking up the slack that I've been leaving around and removing the ubiquity of the logo. Quite a few examples of the logos can be found here. How do I know people think it's a mascot? I've had enough people come up to me and ask about it to make me think "How could a Ferret carrying a watermelon possibly represent a site dedicated to Tool-assisted speedruns."
