Pup Art

A brief and not very in-depth appreciation of the 1994 World Cup logo and its mascot but both are definitely worth some reminiscing as they represent simpler times in sports identity, particularly for global events whose identities get more bombastic each year. The logo was designed by Pentagram’s Michael Gericke and the mascot, Striker, “The World Cup Pup”, was drawn by the Warner Bros. animation team. So wholesome (and so crazy to think it was almost 30 years ago).
