Recognized industrial designer, cartoonist and comic artist, Javier Mariscal studied at the Elisava School in Barcelona. He began his career in the world of underground comics in publications such as "El Rrollo Enmascarado" or "Star", along with Farry, Nazario and Pepichek. After making his first own comics in the mid-seventies, in 1979 he designed the Bar Cel Ona logo, a work for which he began to be known by the general public. In 1992 his design Cobi was chosen as the mascot for the Barcelona Olympic Games, controversial at first but now recognized as the most profitable mascot in the history of the modern Games. In 1989 he created Estudio Mariscal, and ten years later he received the National Design Award in recognition of his entire professional career.
