Two versions of Bucky Badger were created by commercial artist Art Evans in 1940. The more familiar portrayal of Bucky, seen here wearing his sweater and confidently strutting towards the competition, was officially used by Wisconsin from 1948 until he received a slight design makeover in 2003. The combination of Bucky in front of the bold, serif Wisconsin “W” was the primary school logo from 1948-1956.
