I've always thought this one could use an update.

Hank, the mascot logo for the Eastern Arizona College Gila Monsters. I've never heard of another school using the gila monster as a mascot and always wished they made better use of it.

Fun fact: their mascot costume was the inspiration for Homer's Safety Salamander in The Simpsons. Marge even references it when she says "You look like the mascot of one of those horrible colleges from the south."

I redid Gila Hank about a year and a half ago: http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/96826-vintage-mascot-logo-refresh-update-baltimore-orioles/?p=2207161

I contacted Eastern Arizona College to see if they'd be interested in buying the revamp, but there are some weird copyright issues around who owns it, apparently.

Looks good. I think that in order for them to replace Hank the idea would have to be a complete overhaul and departure from the gunslinger look.

Congrats on the EIU contribution, ren. Must feel great to have your work in their official visual history now.

Thanks SeattleSonics, & YES it's an awesome feeling...now if only more universities will follow as well, lol.

Your work is outstanding and they would be smart to update their logos with your versions.
