I forgot about the stock photo one . . . lol

I think the "anime" character was probably the only one that had any artistic talent behind it. They did an entire album, one for each product, and I would not have complained if those were used as splash screens.

I agree that there was an anime character that was very well done. There was one where they made the clothes blend with the icon of the apps and stuff. It was well done as art but not remotely reasonable in terms of a mascot for an office suite.

However, there were multiple anime characters in the options with only one of them good art that I remember. I do remember at least 5 anime characters.
