Mascot "Curro" of 1992 Seville Expo (Spain)
Curro was the mascot for the fair. It has the shape of a big white bird with the legs of an elephant, whose long conical beak and crest had the colours of the rainbow.
It was created by German designer Heinz Edelmann (who is best known for his work on the 1968 animated film, Yellow Submarine), who also gave it the name Curro, an Andalusian pet form of Spanish male name Francisco.
It was presented officially in the Plaza de Espa a of Seville, in a big fest of light and sound on the 20 April 1990, two years before the Fair's inauguration.
