Here we go Tigers, here we go! (clap, clap)

Chances are good that at some point in your own education, you attended a school with a mascot; be it a warrior, bucking bronco, or even a criminal. Having a mascot and logo for your school provides many benefits for your school community. The best part is that here at School Webmasters we can design these for you affordably.

Mascots Can Help Tie In Your School Motto
What child doesn’t want to do his or her personal best when a daring panther or darling tiger is encouraging him or her to do so? Aren’t students more motivated by characters than adults who are probably saying the same thing? “Be Proud of Who You Are at WBR,” is much more effective when spoken by a Trojan, a Muskrat, or a Viking than from the principal. Even if it is a great motto. A professionally designed character can help personify your school’s personality.

Mascots Help Establish Continuity
Together with your school’s logo, you can create a consistent image for your school; one that parents will instantly recognize. Using a consistent logo and mascot is a great way to build public and parent trust in who and what you do. Making sure that your logo and mascot remain the same on all forms of communication—from business cards to websites to social media platforms—is paramount to ensuring that your school or district portrays a professional image. This all helps build ethos and respect for your school or district.

Mascots Help Build Community 
One of the biggest benefits of a mascot is the potential for school marketing. Featuring your school mascot on T-shirts, folders, school supplies, bumper stickers, water bottles, and the like, can not only help you raise funds for your school, but also helps establish school spirit and pride. When students are proud to attend school, they participate more in activities, spirit days, fundraisers, and school events. Building a strong, supportive school community not only helps students be more engaged in their learning, it also makes school a fun place to be. A school that families want to attend. Your school mascot can help you create this sense of pride.

Whether your school or district is in need of a logo or mascot, or you’d simply like to update the ones you have, School Webmasters can help! Our professional graphic design team will work with you to provide the look and feel you’d like your school or district to reflect. For more details and pricing, visit our Logo & Mascot design page.

With School Webmasters, your school can also have a polar penguin exclaiming, “We’ve got spirit, yes we do, we’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?”
