The final mascot design was chosen after FIFA and the Local Organizing Committee had analyzed 47 different proposals created by six different Brazilian agencies. The designs were further analyzed through extensive research carried out amongst its primary target audience, Brazilian children between the ages of five and twelve, with the favourite being the armadillo, created by 100%Design.〔 Fuleco is seen as a cheerful and appealing personality.
Independent research carried out of behalf of FIFA stated that 89% of Brazilians questioned said they had seen the mascot and it gained favourable scores as a likeable character.〔
