Talk:Bucky Badger

message: "Ask Abe" entry from the UW Alumni association.  Includes some history.  Probably not useful enough to include in the main article, but may be useful to other researchers. Alan De Smet | Talk 03:45, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

message: My addition to the history of the logo and it's trademark is based on an personal email exchange with Cindy Van Matre, Trademark Licensing Director for the UW-Madison.  In addition to the information I've added, she recommended The Bucky Badger Story by Gwen Schultz, published by Hammock & Inglenook in 1981. Alan De Smet | Talk 00:13, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  History of logo and trademarks 

message: I pulled a reference to a "Fuck 'Em Bucky" logo.  It read, "The controversial Fuck 'Em Bucky logo has often been used on t-shirts and other media. This logo incorporates Bucky giving the middle finger.  This is an unofficial logo and the school has frowned upon its use."  While I have no doubt such an image exists and has been put onto t-shirts at least once, it's by no means common.  During my four years as an undergrad at the UW-Madison in the late 90s, followed by three years working at the UW-Madison (2004-present), I've never seen such a logo.  This is opposed to "Blind Bucky", which I have definately seen.  A quick online search fails to turn up any references to the logo.  (I find lots of references to the phrase "Fuck 'Em Bucky", but no concrete references to the modified logo.)  All that said, I could be wrong, but I think we need a bit more evidence.

replies: text: I think "Fuck 'Em Bucky" was a little earlier - when I was at Madison in the early to mid 1990s (pre-1996), they were very common.  The University might have cracked down on them after that.  They definitely existed, though, and crop up on eBay from time to time.  --Chancemichaels 15:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The shirts with this logo certainly exist; I own one myself, acquired openly from some shop on State Street in about 1982 or 1983.  Unfortunately, it no longer fits or I'd be wearing it this weekend and would post an image to Commons. 66.28.247.235 (talk) 19:21, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: = "Fuck 'Em Bucky" 

message: A few users have been replacing "Art Evans" with "Tom Spiece" as Bucky's artist.  The Evans case is backed up with two references.  There are no references for Spiece being the artist.  If references exist, Google certainly isn't turning them. If someone has details of Spiece being the original artist, please add a <ref> citing it.  Indeed, if you have a reference, there is apparently a controversy, and we should be presenting both names. Absent a reference, I will assume it's incorrect and continue to revert these changes. — Alan De Smet | Talk 04:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Art Evans or Tom Spiece? 

message: I almost reverted the uncited addition about being able to rent Bucky as implausible.  Nope, it's valid.  I don't know about the 700 a year claim, but the previous link might be a good citation for a more cautious claim. — Alan De Smet | Talk 00:38, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
