It will be terrible if they can't choose/come up with a cute mascot this time. What happened with the emblem is that they tried to keep it to their own circle, and messed up. Hopefully thing will work this time. It'll be neat to Have Totoro, Doraemon, or Mario, or even Kumamon as the mascot. But all these are commercialized characters.
