AJM Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I wasn't completely sure where to post this, but I wanted to share this with all since I've had to be tight lipped on this for a while.We at ASU have rolled out an updated Sparky mascot today. The update will only affect the physical mascot costume and not the iconic Sparky logo. This redesigned look was developed in effort with Disney and will be utilized for the mascot as well as creative projects for a younger audience.http://asu.edu/vppa/sparky_03012013/http://www.houseofsp...n-devils-disney (MLF) Chicago Cannons, (IHA) Phoenix Firebirds - 2021 Xtreme Cup Champions (WAFL) Phoenix Federals - WAFL World Bowl XII Champions (Defunct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coheed Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I know it's a mascot and it's supposed to be all cheerful and exciting, but I just feel like a devil shouldn't be smiling like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Looks like an anime character with those eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henburg Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So does this mean that the Sparky logo is being phased out for an animated character? If so, its a very sad day, the Sun Devil was one of my favorite logos in college sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfourThibault Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Guys, the logo itself is unchanged. The new mascot will be, according to the release I got, the updated 'mascot' for games and is also to be used in children's items. As an ASU alum, I'd never buy another ASU article of clothing again if they changed the actual logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azfallguy21 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I only don't understand why they chose to have black instead of maroon for his head. I mean look at this mock photoshop I did with maroon instead of the black. Doesn't it look better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ehh, it's not that bad. It's not great, but the current mascot sucks pretty hard as it is. If this gets Disney off of our nuts when it comes to using the Sparky logo, then I'm all for it.

hettinger_rl Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Was this Disney's attempt at making the mascot look less like Walt Disney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexWilson Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It's different, but its not all that bad. I don't hate the new look, but you guys are right about it looking like a cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
