Your suggestions for SAIA Mascot, Motto, and Logo

[jeffh4]

Other than a cursory remark about the SAIA shipping company logo, I haven't found any discussion about an appropriate Mascot, Motto, or Logo for The Succubus And Incubus Academy.

Ideas?

Well, the logo would almost certainly be Fa'Lina's clan mark.

[Inumo]

Motto: "Semper Fatuus."

[Anker Steadfast]

Veni, Vidi, Nixus.

I came, I saw, I learned.

I disagree... if it's a neutral location, would the symbol not be something that didn't scream "THIS IS MY TURF!"?

I disagree... these are young cubi we are dealing with... so the symbol does need to scream THIS IS MY TURF AND YOU WILL BEHAVE YOURSELF OR GET A BOOT TO THE BOTTOM (see Keaton for example)

Though neutral in nature, it probably needs to be said that its "Her turf. Her rules".

After all if you have that many Cubi in the same area you need a good warning sign.

Something tells me if you didn't have things to remind fighting clans about fighting on campus you would have quite a bit of mopping up to do from all the running around with pointy things.

[Cogidubnus]

I vote for Fi as the mascot.

Also, Fa'lina's turf -is- neutral territory, so her clan mark being the Logo would seem like it would make sense to me. Especially since she seems to have replaced the clan she lost with the school itself.

As for the (obligatorily latin) motto:

Brevis ipsa vita est sed malis fit longior -

Our life is short but is made longer by misfortunes.

[LionHeart]

As for the (obligatorily latin) motto:

Brevis ipsa vita est sed malis fit longior -

Our life is short but is made longer by misfortunes.

I'd think in the case of Cubi, that their lives tend to made shorter by misfortunes. Like having the misfortune to upset the wrong people, the misfortune to run across an adventurer out for Cubi blood, the misfortune to get into a war with dragons...

[jeffh4]

In keeping with Fa'Lina's reason for founding the academy, and her blunt attitude at times, how's this for a motto::

"Ignorance is death. Learning is Survival. Take your pick."

I like the idea of a Warp-Aci as a mascot, but it would need to be doing something cute.  I nominate the "Warp-Aci Bookworms"

The logo would be a Warp Aci wrapped around a huge tome, taking bites out of it.

[AmigaDragon]

Motto: "Semper Fatuus."

Semper Flatus

[Evilkritter]

The logo should definitely be Fa'lina's clan symbol; she founded the school as a respite from the massive devastation the Cubi-Dragon war cause (and there is strong implication that the war started over somethingONE Cubi started), if it weren't for Fa'lina there would be no Academy and a lot less surviving Cubi. Having the Symbol of a dead clan would remind students and visitors of why the school is vital to the future of the Cubi race.

"Ignorance is death. Learning is Survival. Take your pick."

I like it, but I think the "Take your pick" is a little to direct for Fa'lina; all other things aside she is a cunning schemer. It also fits thematically with the School history and foundation.

EDIT: I have no idea what the Mascot should be. Maybe a mass of Cubi tentacles wings?

[Aisha deCabre]

Heh, most everyone here has thought up of better mottos and logos than I could.

The mascot, however...there probably wouldn't be one.

Aren't mascots kinda affiliated with the school in that they're the identity of various sports teams or whatever?  Or Spelling Bee teams, whatever.  Considering SAIA is a bit of a secret school, I have doubts that they need any sports teams. x3  Ergo, no mascot.

[Caswin]

I'd think in the case of Cubi, that their lives tend to made shorter by misfortunes. Like having the misfortune to upset the wrong people, the misfortune to run across an adventurer out for Cubi blood, the misfortune to get into a war with dragons...

Well, that could be anyone.  'cubi are unique in that they can literally extend their lives by causing misfortune.  There are other ways they can do that, of course, but that's what they're most infamous for.

Personally?  I don't know if you'd call it a fight song, but this seems like a good place to express what I've long thought would be appropriate theme music for SAIA: The The Wind in the Willows song "(It's Our) Secret of Survival (in a Very Nasty World)".

First you see us -- then you don't!
Now you hear us... now you won't...
It's our secret of survival in a very nasty world...

[Mrs_A_ZeTavia]

Logo: I agree with everyone else, who said Fa'Lina's clan mark; but maybe perhaps add 3 pairs of wings (tri-wing thing) around it or something to it, so it's her clan mark, but still unique to define the school itself. It was her idea to create the school, but it's just as much hers as it is to everyone else who goes there and benefits from it.

Mascot: I don't know why, but I pictured a Warp-Aci dressed up as a muffin...... 

Motto: "Learn to Survive........or else you'll resort to "Plan B"s

[Caswin]

Now that you mention it... what about this logo?  Or is that itself an early version of Fa'Lina's clan marker?

...and why does the globe have three things hovering around it?

[Mrs_A_ZeTavia]

...and why does the globe have three things hovering around it?

Those things hovering around could possibly be moons..... ....ergo 3 moons

[Tapewolf]

Now that you mention it... what about this logo?  Or is that itself an early version of Fa'Lina's clan marker?

Yes.  I actually had that page in mind when I suggested it.

...and why does the globe have three things hovering around it?

I always took them to be moons.  Furrae isn't Earth, after all...

[Caswin]

Yes.  I actually had that page in mind when I suggested it.

...did I just ruin a carefully-preserved sense of fun and speculation you were carefully preserving?

[Anker Steadfast]

Tapewolf carefully preserve something ?

Heh.

More like gleeful annihilation.  

[Mao]

Well that's one way to critique his little DMFA fanfiction... ;-]

[That_wolf]

'SAIA, teaching young Cubi how to feed off of beings for ______ years/decades/centuries'

[SilentSoror]

I vote love on Fa'lina's clan mark.

Motto themes of survival through learning are super!   Perhaps some more clever than Learn together, survive together
Maybe even something  cooler than Knowledge brings victory

A mascot for the whole school would be weird, but a mascot for the more active clans might be appropriate

[VAE]

'SAIA, teaching young Cubi how to feed off of beings for ______ years/decades/centuries'

you don't really need to teach that... quite the opposite you need to teach them how to be able to stop feeding and not get massive headaches.

[Icalasari]

Logo: Her clan mark
Mascot: N/A. No need for one
Motto: Hope

Yeah, just one word, to remind them what the school symbolizes, and what Falina refuses to lose

[SilentSoror]

I thought of a mascot and I think people will like it.

Mink!  he's been there most of his life and would smashingly with the last motto suggested.

Thou shalt love the tentacle!

[Anker Steadfast]

Tapewolf carefully preserve something ?

Heh.

Aw, I meant it in a good way.

... and now I have to go and read that fanfiction.

LOVE!!! These kinds of mottos are the best!

[terrycloth]

Motto: "You don't have to be an insane psychopath to study here. We'll train you."

I think their mascot should be a dragon. With a bit in its mouth, and a cowboy-dressed cubi riding it.

... or the librarian. She's a good mascot.

That nice young lady from Sin City leaps into mind, here...
