As a first year student I am always learning new things about the school and some aspects that I loved about it was the bell tower and the citrus scent I sometimes smell entering the school. I had a lot of fun drawing this design and thinking of ways to show small aspects of the school.

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.

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!

The artwork consists of some of my favorite, most iconic places/mascots of UCR: citrus that UCR is known for, our beloved Scotty, the belltower at the heart of campus, the UCR sign, and lastly, the donkeys that are unique to UCR. It represents a collection of sights that have been a significant part of my time here and memories I will always cherish.

When I started brainstorming for this, I was trying to think of a campus landmark that everyone would know, other than the bell tower of course. I immediately thought of the bench with Scotty, sitting right in front of the bell tower. When first sketching this out, I wanted to portray the scene with a cozy feel. I immediately thought of Animal Crossing, and started transforming a sit on the bench with Scotty into an Animal Crossing experience.

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.
