Yeah, I don't see the hate for that logo either. It's very distinct

Yeah, I don't see the hate for that logo either. It's very distinct

It reeked "just like every other mid-2000s cartoon logo"... for 20 years!

Fine but two things.  We seem to be bare of bears.  We don't have PO'd bear nor hugggy.  And two, huggy bear swag isn't on clearance,  yet.

He may be a lame bear but he's our lame bear and I'll snatch up hats and shirts if I can get them at half price or less.

Dang straight.

Huggy bear was garbage.  It's not our bear; it's an inconsequential marketing gimmick from a period that was singularly soulless.

This is our bear:

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

One thing I heard was that they dropped Huggy Bear because people thought it was "too aggressive."

Not sure Snarky Bear will be revived if people don't like aggressive logos.

This is our bear:

When I started Cornell in 1964, I brought a bear sweatshirt home for my younger brother, who was nine. He really liked the bear, as I think most kids would. So, there's lots to be said for animalistic insignia.

OTOH, my brother wound up going to Yale. So the sweatshirt wasn't enough to keep him on track.

Some might think we ripped off "Handsome Dan" when PO'd bear was designed. But I don't know which PO'd stance came first.

I've always called him "Skeptical Bear". I try to encourage my daughter, soon to be a Cornell grad herself, to always have at least one garment with him on it.

"Grumpy Bear" for me.  And no other sticker shall ever adorn my vehicles.  A bit insider - if you know, you know.

Only the Mona Lisa has had more emotions read into her countenance.

I've always thought that bear looks like it just got its ass kicked, and I enjoy that.
