“That’s fantastic! I like how the dolphin is swimming down as opposed to jumping, like most other dolphin logos. Original!”
What Was Done
I designed this dolphin mascot logo to enrich the school spirit for my local middle school in Scotts Valley CA. My sketches started out with a kind of mean and threatening looking dolphin. I decided to switch gears because dolphins arn’t mean, in fact the smile of a dolphin is a built in feature!
My ultimate goal is to design mascot logos to be incorporated in some way for all four of the Scotts Valley Unified School District (SVUSD) schools. A bear for the elementary school, dolphin logo for the middle school, a falcon logo for the high school, and an eagle logo for the second elementary school. As of now, my Vine Hill Bears mascot logo has been the only one adopted and has been applied as a 6' X 6' mural which I painted outside the school lunchroom as a wall. Three more schools to go!
