Meet cVillain’s new best friend/mascot/logo/punching bag/troubled non-human/imaginary friend:
This little guy will be sending us the gossip, perching above your favorite bars, spreading rumors and, in general, doing what little birdies do best, pooping all over town. He/she is also a Villain as you can see from the cape and mask. Don’t try to unmask him or reveal the bird’s identity cause the code applies.
Now, help us figure out a name!

Cecil the Cvillian Bird?
Looks like a mix between this guy:

And this guy:

Nemesis
haha nemisis.. what about Thor, Jr. I
What about Apple?
or sPiis
evil bird
WTF 204? Are you Gwyneth Paltrow?
How about “Biird”
i think we should name him scott.
Bitch
PLEASE NO NO NO NO… one of my least fave people on this planet is called Scott (spits on the floor). Thor I will pay to not name him Scott. Why don’t you have a name auction?
Stuart… is that a name suggestion or are you just in a misogynistic mood today?
after bitch I considered Thurd, as both and ode to 3 kitchen and bar and the combination of Thor and Turd, which is what it will be doing
I’m sure the Hook and C-Ville will pay for naming rights if given the chance
How about Mjoelner?
I think heckle works fine. or jeckel.
I always think that word looks like someone lent on the keyboard by accident.
i meant jeckle. sorry.
Or Modi or Magdi?…(I guess you ‘maricans call it Mjolnir?)
Ragnarok, or “Raggy”
What about Mr Hyde (as in Dr Jeckyll…) . This also plays on the fact that we all ‘hide’ our identity
Well on second thought, I am suggesting we name the bird “Stuartâ€
And that should have been Jekyll
Dunno his name (maybe Rhot?), but we need about a million 1×1″ stickers made up stat!
I liked Cecil, TwoOFour. He looks like a Cecil. He has that Tim Curry thing going on– kind of cute, kind of evil.
Byo… for what?
Jinx?
phatty.
Cupcake
PBRD… beer and txting combined
I just want a version of him drawn where his eyebrows point in the other direction as a show of disapproval… it could be the new response when somebody gets out of hand in comment land. That, or I just like the idea of the mascot being as judgemental as I am.
What about chucklehead or turd fergusson? Nerd burglar?
hmm how much do you think a business would pay to name him?
Caw caw
Maybe if he was wearing a teeshirt you could logo, but I just don’t see Nike biting on this one, Thor…
hey does ms. usas know that the best band to come out of her current town (hoboken) ever just played here last week?
how about chillin? (as in, like a c-villain?)
i second the stickers idea.
how about mr. bojangles…i suppose that’s kind of random though..
yeah.. thats right… turd fergusson… its a funny name.
anal bum cover?
Budgie?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budgerigar
See personality section.
If it’s an owl, then “what the who”.
budgie = nickname of ex
Vulturion the Magnificent!
Justabudgie
Mortimer.
I have no reason other than that it fits.
Isn’t ‘Budgie’ from the children’s book about a helicopter? Um. Anyone?
I still like “Cecil.” It sounds all alliterative with “Cvillain.”
Clark Throckmorton. Bu it looks more like a robin than goatherd 4-H’er.
He rocks in the tree-top all a day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singin’ the song
All the little birds on J-Bird St.
Love to hear the robin goin’ tweet tweet tweet
Rockin’ robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Rockin’ robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Oh rockin’ robin well you really gonna rock tonight
Flapper
Flaps
ThatGrrl: I like the word “alliterative” it makes me hot.
Dirty Sanchez
You’re so easy, 2of4. Must be why I like you so much!
Please Please Please let’s call him Dirty Sanchez. I can pay… loads.
i’d totally put a sticker of this guy on my car. i kind of like cecil, too.
two o I see you flirting…
His name is obviously Sparkles.
She’s tempting me with Girl Scout cookies, too, Floozy! Well, more like taunting me. But come on! I’m only human!
Oops. That was Caroline seeing the flirtin’. Sorry, ’bout that.
oh, erh hey C…was saving some cookies for you here…erh
i need cookies. two give me your cookies.
Share?
Steve.
End of thread.
Arh behold the power of GSC….Come to meee come to meeeee
Alright girls, just come to my office ok?…I only have the peanut butter ones…Sorry C
Octavius
Does your office door have a lock?
Floozy are we still on or what?
Why didn’t you get a local artist or cVillain to design this?
#29, huhhuhhuh….i said phatty and it was 4:20, huhuh.
Shades of Beavis and Butthead there C…
ditto on shenanigans’ question - whas’up’wi’dat? i think he is cute -liking cecil as the name - but do find it interesting that the hometown site folks chose a hoboken based artist!
you know you thought it was sexy flooze.
cause we offered it a while back and we had no takers
Shenanigans and hoodatbe are absolutely correct: SHOP LOCAL WTF???
Did you ask shenanigans
Can we call it, DeParis Redinger
Silmo… can you take an email?
Ya mean like up my ass???
i think flooze would have spelled it “e-male” if it was meant that way…
Sil… WTF? Yeah… because all my emails are anally delivered. It’s called ARSEHOLE-MALE ( thanks for the lead in there Buster.. we could be a killer team)
glad to oblige! we live by the pork sword, we die by the pork sword? (hey, i could think of worse ways to go)
I’m lost. You have my e-mail address. Is there a joke here that I’m missing???
buster are you married to crud buster?
see flooze? he never saw it coming! (i’m done now)
caroline: i don’t know crud buster, so i’ll be greatly alarmed if it turns out that we’re married. my handle comes from a nickname given to me by the hash house harriers, about whom lilith wrote here some time ago. the rest, as they don’t say, is completely inconsequential.
:0
Buster… pork sword eh? Some time spent in UK if I am not mistaken.
Oh shit. I would totally know who Buster was if I’d been hashing lately. But cHHH is all dorks now.
And um,
Senor Thor, when did you offer this mascot contest thingie?
flooze: nah, i saw “juno” twice, and have been scarred by the mention of those therein. i’ve only spent seven days in the UK, unfortunately.
shen: i haven’t hashed since august, so the dork factor isn’t as high as it could be. just sayin’.
I thought that hashing thing looked interesting, apart from the running around part. That just left drinking. I’m up for it if I can apply my Flooz-Rules. That means no flapping around in cold mud like a beached halibut, no ambulation above a brisk walk and drinks are on Silmo.
Ohhh Are you asking me out, FLooze??
I have to go load my Nerf gun… Real Housewives of Orange County is on. Watch this program and you will lose the will to live within 10 minutes.
you guys, I just watched it. Why did I watch it. You warned me and I watched it anyway. My eyes are burning.
@shen: http://cvillain.com/?p=440
So leave Thor alone… and rock on Dirty Sanchez
C… you silly moo.
Thor: What?! Lame. Nov. 2nd I was too wrapped up in LiveARTs gala preparation to read your tiny blurb. Boo!
i hashed once. i got drunk and probably laid. it’s hard to say for sure.
the mascot’s name is scott. it’s short for mascot, for crying out loud.
VilVil
middle finger
Call him/her bloggie
the mascots name is caroline.
or, bleep
as in what should not be said but what is
don’t birdies say , bleep, bleep?
He should have some color - nothing’s black and white in this deconstructed world…
I seem to be the only one that thinks it’s a she, so I propose “Charlotte.”
Yeah…masked Scott is the mascott. I get it Parlie.
In light of the logo’s non-c-ville origins, how about we call it:
“Outsourcey the Bird”
or
“Importo the Logo”
or
“Made in Hoboken”
I propose a (local) villain-logo creation contest
i don’t get it.
I appreciate everyone’s desire for a local logo creation contest, but we had zero takers in the last two and a half months.
There will be more opportunities to do stuff locally and we, of course, will give that opportunity to the community.
The logo was created by a graphic designer in Hoboken, NJ not by a local. This struck some of us as odd coming from this “by, for, and about charlottesville” site heavily populated by “Shop Local” advocating villains.
[And yes I am friends with a lot of graphic designers]
smiley I said Caroline, I think shes a girl, a girl from HOboken.
I smell boycott.
Thor, did the girl from Hoboken respond to the November 2 post, or did you track her down and hire her? If she responded to the same opportunity everyone else had then I have no problem (other than the obvious, unrelated ones) but if no one responded and you contacted and hired her, I think you’d have been better off taking that step locally, at first at least?
If the creator is from Jersey, she’s like a good number of Charlottesville residents. Who cares if she current resides in Hoboken? She’ll move here eventually.
Nobody ever asked me. I have been a graphic designer for 14 years. Employed even!
typical Charlottesville. Ask for help and you get none. When you get it done yourself, you get complaints.
owlnames:
Cawes Spencer
Cathwren Harding
Hoodatbird
i’d like to register a complaint about the complaining. it’s just so lame.
I really don’t see why this is a big deal.
There is an issue of trust and for us, we knew that she would do a fantastic job and judging by everyone’s comments you like her work as much as we do..
D/R worked with her before, we had the offer up on our site since November, 2nd (http://cvillain.com/?p=440) and had one person contact us, but nothing submitted.
We are currently working with a local designer to redo our web design:
http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/01/10/back-in-the-states-buried-in-email/
We are also hosted by a local company. Part of the designer’s family lives in Charlottesville and she is a frequent visitor. It’s not some big corporate outsourcing decision. Relax people!
I can’t relax! The bird is scowling at me with those villianous eyes!
Its fine, just make the 1×1″ stickers and pronto! Let it appear around in little spots here and there and it will become a (mostly) local mystery. People “not in the know” will start calling it something.
Et Walla!
Haha, oh snap!
ummm….. et voila?
I vote for comment 3
Sorry for the typo there sandy coconut, I meant Ed Walla, my Uncle from Hoboken. He was the creative director on this project.
Sheesh.
we do need stickers, pronto. maybe we can get it pressed into pills, too.
or maybe not, too.
Ok, who wants to do stickers locally and not charge us an arm and a leg?
Dunno, but they have to be small small small…. so we can sneak em around.
Any old deadheads remember “we are everywhere”? Thats what Im thinking.
What, is putting double-sided tape on the back of our mail-order business cards too 2007 for you guys? Oh. Oh fine. Be that way.
fenton for president!
I mean Do it for Fenton!
I’m just hoping that the stickers don’t end up littered all over town.
I like Monty and I’m all for Cilli Designs, but those freaking stickers all over the place are becoming an eyesore.
However, I do think it’d be neat to see the occasional sticker inconspicuously placed in the corner of a bar-front window. I’m sure the bar/restaurant owners would disagree.
maybe we can tag places we’ve reviewed with the stickers.. similar to when a dog pees on its territory
Let’s not go vandalizing - the fastest way to becoming very unpopular would be to cause the waiters and waitresses of this town the extra shift task of scraping cvillain stickers off the restroom stalls.
inconspicuous places, not littered evrywhere. thats why they should be small.
And haven’t you reviewed everything but Arby’s by now?
Thank you Silmo
Right on lovely.
PS: I am still baffled by your e-mail comment
I disagree. Lets go vandalizing!
/blank walls equal blank minds
Silmo… next time I’ll just say ‘incoming’ or something.
I’m not sure about the sticker thing . . . it could be a “jump the shark” event.
Dont make me cut a stencil. Cuz I’ll cut one. Deep, homeboy.
Yeah I know, it would suck so bad to pull over to use the restroom in ruckersville gas station, and look up in the corner of the stall wall and see a teeny tiny little bird named “#%&*^%$#” and smile cause you knew that a villian had been there. I hate those kind of smiles. And Im sure the the 3/4″ square little bird would cause so much duress and undue anguish to the other patrons while trying to view the crudely drawn penii that usually occupy the space.
Or my god! Could you imagine waiting in line to get into 216 and seeing that bastard bird inconspicuously stuck to the very end of their handrail? Who could dance after that?
You’re right. Bad idea. We shouldn’t have any fun in this town. We should be as adult, sophisticated and self important as the c-ville weekly says we are. Harmless pranks that bring a smile to an ever increasing crowd of people is definitely a bad bad idea.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I must off to the library to research belgian beer so I can get a date. And if I see one goddamn teeny tiny little bird sticker anywhere in that joint Im going postal.
Yo is a playa?! Sheeeet, we cool, yo? Please don’t be cuttin’ me, g.
let’s name him Bastard
can someone make an art file I can send to sticker folks?
add “welcome to the internet” somewhere on the image and I’ll get our sugar daddies to print them
Lys, lighten up, Villain Stickers all around!
Do you realize that these will be used in emergency situations to reinstate errant panti-liners that have lost their… well stick. How’s that for the first entry in the ‘101 uses for a Cvillain sticker’ competition.
Byo… something masturbatory from you perchance?
Names for your bird: goo, slash, richard, elmer, tex, rex, lex, chirp, cecil, sally, master charles, motherfucker, beep, peep, poo, mr. salty, young-n-horny, flicker, fornication, c-bird, chester, villebill, nacho, tinkle, BFF, crusty, bob, or lil b funkmaster j.
Um, flooz… what? You want me to masturbate with a sticker?
beelzebub + bird = Beezlebird
I agree with Lys re: stickering OPP*
It’s one step above writing “suck my balls” on the bathroom wall. (alright maybe several steps above that, but still).
*property
B’yo the moment has passed, and I have the attention span of a rabid beagle that’s been chugging Red Bull.
I’ll say the moments passed. The sticker masturbation thing was I think the show three wed’s ago… or was that the nipple incident?
Who know. And who know’s what will happen tonight? hee hee….
how about “Burd”? makes me think of “b-b- bird bird, bird is the word.”
I agree with belmont yo about the sticker campaign. It worked for shepard fairey.
http://obeygiant.com/
Sure, it might tick off some people if they end up on OPP, but can we just be discreet? What’s the point of being a villain if we can’t stomach a tiny bit of harmless vandalism?
May I also bring to mind “Andre the Giant has a Posse”
Yes! Villianry! Stand and deliver the stickers. You are all anonymous for cripes sake! What is this, a church social?
yeah, fairey = Andre. genius sticker campaign turned global art movement.
I’m with B’yo….must. deliver. stickers.
Yes stickers and a small amount of illegal posting here and there, but full-on stickering of businesses is not cool. I think we should distribute stickers to villain-approved bars, shops, etc, for posting in their windows. Sort of a seal-of-approval / secret signal
i like the seal of approval idea, it’s like Booya BAm, you are lucky enough to be approved by the villains, a very elitist group.
i got the sticker tattooed across my chest today. it is huge.
Hey Parlie… I like that idea.
lilith and thor should pay for all of our brandings
C… do you have any tattoos?
girl, don’t act like you ain’t seen ‘em….ALL of them
i am full of incredible ideas. one of them is to go get a drink.
Stickers???
How ’bout postage stamps? With the cool edges n all. Nobodied be the wiser, eh?
Personally, he/she/it strikes me as a Steve.
Perhaps there could be a “friends” of (so called bird) contest.
Of local pursuits? (hello y’all’s)
Thor, not like I’m dying to get rid of our current poll, OH WAIT, but can we take a vote for stalker-bird’s name?
@shen and everyone: do you guys want to do the cvillemuse mascot? (who would be a friend of this guy)
