FAQ
Common Questions
How do you create mascots that middle schoolers won't reject?
We involve students directly in the process through focus groups and feedback sessions. Middle schoolers are honest critics—we use their input to create designs they'll actually embrace and wear proudly.
Do you include both athletic and friendly versions?
Yes! Every package includes a fierce athletic version for sports teams and a friendly version for academic materials, assemblies, and general use. Middle schools need both.
How long does a middle school branding project take?
Typical timeline is 6-8 weeks from kickoff to final files. This includes student input sessions, design development, refinement based on feedback, and file preparation. Rush timelines available if needed before school year starts.
Can the mascot work with our feeder high school?
Absolutely. If you're part of a K-12 district, we can design your middle school mascot to coordinate with your high school branding while maintaining its own identity. Creates continuity students appreciate.
What files do we get for athletic uniforms?
You get vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) for screen printing, embroidery-ready files, one-color versions for single-color printing, and specific formats for common athletic uniform vendors. Everything your athletic director needs.
