Jurassic Park
Blue
Blue is the franchise's attempt to make a raptor a character rather than a threat, and it half works — the relationship with her handler is the only thing in the newer films that has stuck with audiences. The palaeontology is worth stating plainly, because the films get it wrong and know they do: real velociraptors were roughly turkey-sized and feathered, and the animals on screen are scaled up and modelled much more closely on Deinonychus.

Who is Blue?
Blue is the franchise's attempt to make a raptor a character rather than a threat, and it half works — the relationship with her handler is the only thing in the newer films that has stuck with audiences. The palaeontology is worth stating plainly, because the films get it wrong and know they do: real velociraptors were roughly turkey-sized and feathered, and the animals on screen are scaled up and modelled much more closely on Deinonychus. Crichton was aware of this and chose the more dramatic name. Subsequent fossil evidence made the feather question considerably more certain, and the franchise has explained its own animals as deliberately inaccurate hybrids rather than retconning the design — which is a neater solution than it had to find.

Why Blue endures
The franchise's most successful attempt at giving a dinosaur interiority, and a neat example of a series absorbing its own scientific inaccuracy into its story rather than quietly correcting it.
What Blue looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A grey-green raptor with a blue lateral stripe
The blue stripe is the identifying feature and is the only thing distinguishing her from the franchise's other raptors — which makes it the graphic. Claw-mark and silhouette treatments work well, as does the park logo shared with the rest of the property.
The blue lateral stripe is the whole identifier and therefore the graphic. Claw-mark and silhouette treatments work well, alongside the shared park logo. Green, blue and black.
