I say take the current Comet and update with some colors or make a new Comet but based off the original. When he lands, it's an Extinction Superhero Captain Comet OC Faculty Level Event! Has a cape, maybe a hood (Batman-like so that different I think he people can portray him), logo on should be a Captain Comet chest like a OC Faculty super hero. Superman S (maybe use the cartoon of the Comet that we have now on his chest) Bull (BIG RED Henry STRONG! Alumni BULL) the Wink has to go to whimsical. I like confident, strong and screaming Zeke the Comet determined. I am actually the Alumni comet student who proposed the arm being more muscular in 85'.

Hardy, Brilliant, Defender of Territory, Aggressive, Protective, Casey the Comet or Cardinal Beautiful song, Long life, Other Red the Comet Increases its range. May send design later... I do not know how or who drew the original comet, but I do know that the original did not have arm muscles. The muscles were added by an alum who was, at the time, working in the Admissions Office. His name was Bernie McConnell. Bernie passed No change Retain possibly Alumni away some time ago, at a still young age. Because of this connection I would not be in favor of changing "Clyde". You could change his name to "Bernie", however, and that would be OK with me.. but keep the comet as is. As an Alumni, I would hate to Comet Clyde Alumni see Clyde The Comet go away. My Comet looks like a Comet. Get rid of the cartoon and Have to keep the If a change is necessary just Alumni make it look name Clyde!!! make it less like a cartoon like a real Comet. More like a fireball Growth and possibility. Keep the OC academic Values of the college but apply a Athletic spin Comet CYLDE Alumni to it. DONT CHANGE CLYDE!

I do not have a design to suggest. Please do not call it Buzz Flash is good. Or anything that is Characteristics - strong, smart, gender neutral and socially responsible. Could be a It should look timeless. Clyde little more streamlined in design. Alumni like a comet. does sound a bit dated. Please don't Red & White, Maroon & White, call it Buzz. Brick Red & White... which is it? I've seen all three color combinations used in various contexts at OC Be bold. Haley is a gender neutral name. The next Comet logo should focus on our future. Incorporate crimson and silver for standard red and white. Be Flaming Black Haley the Comet more inclusive and less Student Squirrel traditional (TCU Superfrog, Richmond Spiders, Courtland State Red Dragons). Olivet College was founded by innovators. Let us truly reinvent. Strength and confidence should be a major part of our mascot since it is mostly used as a rally I think it should A comet should point to instill excitement, still be Clyde but look like a motivation, and camaraderie. I Alumni with an up dated comet do not believe that our new look. mascot should be a dog or any other animal. Naming an animal comet does not make it a comet. The mascot can have a face with the muscular arms and all but it needs to be less cartoonish. It A comet mascot I think we have to needs to look confident and is a must. It keep the name tough. I would personally also should look Clyde. It is pretty like to see a modern and Alumni tough and goofy but it is our updated comet logo that is confident. identity. sharp and would look good on a shirt or merchandise. I don't think a mascot and logo are the same thing.

Alumni has Should be able to represent men Comet Ollie Alumni AND women sports Update the artwork to My comet looks The name he modernize him but in keeping Alumni like a comet already has; Clyde with tradition, please leave him a comet with the name Clyde. Comet Flash Funny confident Student Blazer-meaning Strong and animalistic looking, Wolf looking spitfire or Chulli - muscular and not like our Other fireball meaning flames current Kool-aid man! Super hero , muscular body, bigger head Strong, fair, hard worker, Big Red Other with flame hair, protector, friendly, confident. cape flows, smiles bold (comet), strong (oaks), oak leaf and swift (motion of the comet), acorn held with Chase the Comet Alumni leader (comet), teamwork (all of rings to comet image), OC oaks A comet.

This is Alumni Comet Duh Duh crazy. Personally, I would rather our colors be red and black instead of red and white. I don't really None Comet is fine like Clyde the comet and would Student like the comet to be 'phased out' of athletic apparel like it currently is. This is a symbol of strength and unity. Chaos the Cardinal Crimson doesn't lose, it is scrappy and Chaos the Cardinal Student Cardinals fights for everything it earns. Embodies the Olivet College Student athlete. Looks like a man on fire or a strong, confident, excited and comet on their Clyde the Comet OC Staff fun head and not the whole body All of a sudden we just want to up and change our mascot and its name? Why? Why would you even consider changing the mascot that we've built our entire athletic program around No Change Clyde the Commet Student for the past 82 years? We use the OC logo for just about everything anyway... this whole initiative makes no sense to me. The comet and the OC logo is our brand. He is part of OC history and A comet Clyde Student should continue to be.
