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.
Motto: "Semper Fatuus." :P
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.
I vote for Fi as the mascot. :3
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.
Quote from: Cogidubnus on October 05, 2010, 01:10:09 AMAs 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...
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.
Quote from: Inumo on October 04, 2010, 07:00:30 PM
Motto: "Semper Fatuus." :P
Semper Flatus :mob :explosion
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.
Quote from: jeffh4 on October 05, 2010, 11:47:24 AM
"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?
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.

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...
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. :3
Mascot: I don't know why, but I pictured a Warp-Aci dressed up as a muffin...... :erk
Motto: "Learn to Survive........or else you'll resort to "Plan B"s (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_426.php) :P
Now that you mention it... what about this logo (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_424.php)? 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.

Well that's one way to critique his little DMFA fanfiction... ;-]
'SAIA, teaching young Cubi how to feed off of beings for ______ years/decades/centuries'
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

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.
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
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!

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

I have to say, all told, I like the sound of this.
I think the mascot should be an Abel plushie that you could buy in the library (So Abel couldn't go in and stop people from buying them). And they would be called "Comfort-Abels".
...... might motivate him to graduate.

Who said he didn't graduate, those classes he was taking when Dan was captured were probably extra cericular.
Of course considering how rare Abel's duel type (eyes, wings, color) he could be a mascot.

I know, it was a terrible joke but I just had to. :rolleyes
Here's another idea:
Mascot: Mink
Motto: Watch out for falling anvils.
Or: Always carry a tiny umbrella in case of anvil.
Mink would be a good mascot. But then again you'd have to get his clan leader to ok it since she's all overprotective.
horray Warp-Aci Bookworms
horray Minks!
Dimaniki clan would be more anvil appropriate
I also highly endorse the "Comfort-Abel"s! Regardless of what's chosen the Library should totally have them!
something just occured to me - SAIA might have a logo similar to the Basic Instructions comic (http://basicinstructions.squarespace.com/storage/amy1.jpg)
It might feature Aniz and Fa'lina in the clueless and clued roles XD
Well, to follow the trend, my motto will also be in a foreign language.
Intelligenz nur wird sie so weit. Hier leben von Geschick. To translate that it should be something along the lines of "Intellect only gets you so far. Here you survive on skill."
Mascot should definitely be a warp-aci of some variety, but I think it should be a completely new marking as if SAIA was its own small clan.
Skodak, mottos are usually done in Latin, specifically, rather than "just some foreign language"; unless, of course, the organisation is foreign to start with, in which case it's a whole other ball game.
... not that you should let that stop you, of course. *grin*

SAIA is in a pocket dimension... i don't think it gets *more* foreign than that :mowtongue
Granted. Foreign countries tend to have mottos in their own language, or Latin.
I'm pretty sure SAIA doesn't have a local language. Dialect, maybe, but language? No. And German? Definitely not.
... not that I'm trying to rain on anyone's parade or anything. *grin*
And oh hey! Another thread that's gone out to left field. You guys sure are on a roll of late. Welcome to the tea rooms. *grins*
Eh, I'm just on a roll with German since I'm taking classes in it. And yes, Latin would be far more common. But hey, I'm not the common person :3
