- Mascot
- 5 m
Digital Inflatables turned the Firefly Festival logo into a giant custom inflatable mascot: a white 4.5 m firefly, lit from inside, made in 2021. Hung over the site at night, it shows black eyes, a smile and a bright green light at the back. A 5 m inflatable mascot followed for the festival, photographed on a roof beside the KZERN sign.
What did Digital Inflatables make for the Firefly Festival?
The festival logo in 3D, as a 4.5 m inflatable firefly, followed by a 5 m inflatable mascot.
The firefly is white, with a round head, black eyes, a smile and a bright green light at the back. Lit from inside, it can be seen from far away once night falls.
At the workshop, the inflated and lit figure fills almost the whole room; a person in the background gives the scale.
How was the inflatable firefly used at the festival?
Hung from cables, it floated at night above a tent and the stalls, as a glowing landmark for the crowd.
The 5 m mascot was photographed lying on a flat roof beside a red KZERN sign, then standing on that roof against a blue sky.
The workshop’s post links the mascot to the Firefly Festival and to KZERN.

Request a quoteHow do you turn a logo into a custom inflatable mascot?
The 2D logo is modelled as a 3D volume, then the fabric is cut and sewn; lighting inside the figure makes it visible at night.
The 3D model is used to approve the character’s proportions and expression before production, which avoids surprises on the eyes, the mouth or the fine details of the logo.
At an outdoor festival, the mascot can stand on the ground with guy lines or hang between rigging points; a blower keeps it inflated all evening. More examples are on the giant inflatable mascots and characters page.
