River Rat Redesign

Posted by PVL in Fire Department, ProjectsOct 21st, 2009 | no responses

My fire department, Great River is affectionately known as the “River Rats.” Where that name originated from and why, I have no idea. I also don’t know who drew the caricature of our aquatic loving rodent. I think it’s pretty cool, but is a little behind the times. You’ll note the long turnout coat, day boots and the now antiquated pick-headed axe. He’s also looks a little out of shape. We all know that all firefighters are in peak physical condition, thus our rat should follow suit.

I don’t have the drawing skills needed to bring the Rat into 2009, so I’m putting this out as a side project for anyone who’s interested. I can’t pay you, this isn’t sanctioned by the Department, and I have no idea if they’ll adapt the redesign.

What you’ll get out of this:

  • A new project to enhance your skills.
  • Another piece for your portfolio.
  • A way to kill some time.
  • A t-shirt or anything else we put the logo on, if anything. (And no, if we slap this on the side of our first due engine, I’m not giving you an engine.)
  • Bragging rights.

What I’d like:

  • An updated River Rat in a high resolution digital format.

I’ll let this run for a while, if I pick a winner (or if I even get a single response) I’ll post it. Comment with submissions or contact me via Twitter @pvliii. Thanks for checking this out!
