How to Create a Codex Pet from Your Company Logo
2026-07-30
Turn your company logo into an animated pixel-art pet for OpenAI Codex. A step-by-step guide to branding your team coding companion with your mascot or logo mark.
Why put your logo in Codex?
A branded Codex pet turns your team environment into something personal. Your mascot sits in the Codex window reinforcing brand identity during every session.
For remote teams, a shared pet signals you are all working in the same space.
What you need
- A high-res logo or mascot (PNG, at least 512x512)
- A PetGen account
- About 3 to 5 minutes
Steps
Upload your logo to PetGen. The AI generates a pixel-art base within 90 seconds.
Approve it. PetGen packs 9 animation states into spritesheet.webp and pet.json inside a ZIP.
Distribute the ZIP to your team. Each person copies to ~/.codex/pets/ and restarts Codex.
Tips
- Single main shape works better than multi-element designs
- High contrast helps the AI identify the subject
- Mascot-style logos convert most naturally
- If your logo has thin text, create a simplified version first
