Heroes Made in Asia introduces new visual identity and mascot

Meritxell Garcia: “I was incredibly proud when I was asked to create the new brand identity for HMIA. I know how beloved Gecko Chan is worldwide, but I never imagined I would be the one designing Heroes Made in Asia’s new mascot, Mochi. I have put so much passion into this, and I truly hope the fans enjoy it just as much as I loved creating it all!”
