We’re calling on all students to help us pick our official alligator mascot design! Cast your vote by June 18 at bit.ly/gator99 and help shape the face of South Piedmont Community College.
Both mascot designs were created with care (and serious creativity!) by our talented Creative Services Manager, Samantha Carvallo. One gator rocks a classic, vintage-athletic vibe, while the other is a rounder, full-figured fellow. As Samantha puts it:
“He’s an alligator—he eats a lot.”
Samantha shared a bit about her creative process:
“Coming up with two visual identities for our alligator mascot was hard work. I studied real alligators and explored how other colleges use their mascots before sketching. After everything I learned, I feel such a strong connection to these designs. I can’t wait to see what the community thinks! Go Alligators!”
The alligator was selected to be the College’s mascot earlier this spring, in honor of an alligator who was found at the L.L. Polk Campus in Polkton in the 1990s.
We can’t wait to see which gator gets your vote! Snap to it! Don’t wait—make your voice heard, spread the word, and may the best alligator win!
