What is a cartoon mascot?

Ben 10 actually the mascot of Cartoon Network. Its hard to think who it is. So lets start at 1990s, so Ben 10 does not exist at that time and Dexter's Laboratory was the mascot of Cartoon Network during the 90s and he was the first show to come out to the StudiOS then his last original episode aired in 2003 then 2 years later Ben 10 takes over and now the studio has Ben 10. Ben 10 is a mascot of this and thats why because he has lots of sequels and he went to get his redesign since 2008 and then in 2012 I didn't like the design why they change it and thinks its too much change. So BEN 10 is unofficial mascot of Cartoon Network.
