About Carlos:
Carlos, the Chameleon, now the mascot of Corel’s flagship product - CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 - is representative of the company’s ability to adapt to its customer’s needs and market requirements. Carlos does just that, he changes colour dependent of the circumstance he is in, which in-turn, enables Carlos to evolve. He is agile and hosts many features that allow him to survive in the most aggressive environments, where survival of the fittest is paramount. Such features include: eyes that can rove and swivel, equipping Carlos to focus both eyes together (like humans) or to focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously. In addition, Carlos was one of 30 brothers and sisters. As with most Chameleons, Carlos was born in spring and dines out regularly on spiders and insects. 

About DRAW X3:
