R'Gear 2025 Finalists!
Thank you to everyone who submitting designs to the R'Gear contest and to the students that voted! Details about distribution will be available soon.
R'Gear Contest Winner!
Artist: Ash C. | I came up with the idea of toy bears to represent our mascot by observing students and what they tend to like (cute charms, trinkets, etc.) and I wanted the middle bear to hold out a hand, representing how students help each other out and support each other. The music notes played by the bagpipe is supposed to spell UCR, with bagpipes and kilts having ties to the Scottish origins of highlanders, as well as Tartan Soul. |
Second and third place winners will have their designs created into stickers!
Second Place:Artist: Adelia U. | This design showcases our favorite bear, Scotty Highlander, accompanied by UCR's Donkeys and Norm the orange and well known landmarks on campus. I aimed to create a design that is dynamic and fun. One of my biggest inspirations was Kanye West's Graduation bear. With this in mind, I blended pop culture with UCR's campus community. | |
Artist: Kathrien F. | I originally came up with the design because of the love that we all have for the donkeys as they walk by. I’ve been following all of the UCR accounts and I continue to see the donkeys roaming around campus. It always put a smile on everyone’s face and so I wanted to bring those smiles back when they saw the design! I wanted to convey that the spirit of the students shows through their love and compassion for the people and events around them by adding a fun spin to the more traditional style. It was such a fun process coming up with the design and I hope you find just as much joy in it as I do! |
