Did you know that a vibrant green cat has been captivating audiences for an impressive four decades? The "Super Puma," a beloved mascot, has etched its mark in the annals of branding, proving that a well-designed character can transcend generations.

To delve into the rich history of this animated icon, we journeyed with Mr. Puma, the esteemed Helmut Fischer. Together, we explored the evolution of the "Super Puma," a cartoon star that has captivated hearts and minds. This anniversary offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the enduring legacy of this remarkable mascot.

Beyond the realm of cartoon mascots, the power of community engagement is evident in the story of Valencia College. Over 11,000 votes were cast to select their new mascot, and the resounding winner was the Puma. This choice reflects a deep sense of pride and school spirit, uniting students, alumni, faculty, and staff under a shared banner. The Valencia College Puma isn't just a symbol; it's a rallying cry.

In June, Arapahoe Community College (ACC) also announced their new mascot. This wave of mascot reveals highlights the vital role these figures play in fostering community and representing institutional identity.

The spirit of innovation continues. Sports company Puma marked its 75th anniversary with a bold move, giving its iconic cartoon mascot, "Super Puma," a digital makeover as part of a new PFP NFT (Profile Picture Non-Fungible Token). This digital transformation demonstrates Puma's commitment to staying at the forefront of culture, celebrating its history in a fun and modern way. As Puma celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, it's not just looking back; it's reimagining its legacy for the digital age.

The "Super Puma" isn't just a modern creation; it's a character with deep roots. He was the hero of a limited comic book series created by Puma in the 1970s, which chronicled the adventures of a fearless green cat. The return of "Super Puma" in full force is a testament to the character's enduring appeal. The iconic mascot from Puma's 80's comic book collection emerges from his hiatus to celebrate the brand's 75th anniversary. The brand is not just celebrating the past but also innovating for the future.

The Puma's journey started with the brand's original logo featured a puma cat leaping through a capital D, which stood for Dassler, a nod to brand founder Rudolf Dassler. This motif was updated in 1957, marking the initial steps in the creation of this iconic brand.

The Puma logo was created in 1948 by founder Rudolf Dassler, and its famous feline icon was designed by German cartoonist Lutz Backes in 1967. It was revised several times but has remained in its current form since 1971, a testament to its timeless appeal.

Beyond the visual identity, the brand's influence extends to its mascot character, "Purrcy the VC Puma." Brand guidelines have been developed to manage the mascot mark and the character, ensuring consistency and reinforcing the brand's values.

The Valencia College initiative also underscores the importance of local engagement. Students have the opportunity to fill the shoes, and the costume, of "Purrcy the VC Puma" through paid work-study positions, connecting students with their school's identity. If you want to bring your enthusiasm, positive energy, and joy to our mascot, you may want to apply to become a Purrcy Purrformer.

The Puma/cougar mascot costume is another example of the brand's expansive presence. It's designed to fit a person ranging from 5'2" to 6'4" tall with a chest size up to 60, opening up mascot representation to a broad audience.

The brand used a modified form of the wordmark "Puma" and a white stripe on a black sneaker as a key part of its visual identity, further solidifying the brand's memorable image. The Puma/cougar mascot costume allows fans to literally pounce their way to the event with great style and let everyone hear and see you roarrrr!

While the official mascot of Valencia College is the Puma, the mascot character is Purrcy the VC Puma. The fuzzy cat is named "Purrcy," and the sleek Puma silhouette is the "mascot mark" or the "mascot signature."
