With CYBI on a mission to outer space
We would like to take you on a very special journey into our galaxy, until PSI 2022 when we will be saying "Welcome to our universe!" And there's one thing we mustn't forget: the symbol of our universe, big round eyes, soft and cuddly, with a little tummy."We definitely need a mascot that fits in with the theme," was the opinion during our first brainstorming session for the PSI trade fair, "and it needs to have a name"! The decision was made and we started googling Martians and Alien cuddly toys. "Ohhh, look, that's so sweet, but it needs to have big round eyes and ..." That's how the story of CYBI started, as none of the cuddly toys we saw really fitted in with our ideas. We had a particular idea of what we wanted and none of the ones we saw online were right.
No sooner said than done! "Anton, we need a cuddly toy. It needs to look like an alien, but with big round eyes, sweet little ears and a little tummy." This wasn't the first time Anton had done a drawing freestyle so he sketched out a few ideas. With big round eyes, with its eyes closed, with its oversized head tilting, view from the front and from the back. After the third sketch and a number of different suggestions, the design had been agreed upon. A pencil version of the original biro drawing was done and the sketch was then digitised. And everyone said, "Oh my God, it's so sweet!"
A decision was soon made about the name and CYBI was born, at least in digital form. The next step was to make stand sketches, cut the pattern, choose the colours for the fabric and sew the first sample. What came out of all this was our very own little mascot for our universe who will accompany us during the PSI.
"CYBI is looking forward to meeting you all!"
