Additional Information

The nickname of Oregon State University athletics teams is the Beavers. The Mascot is Benny the Beaver.

This is a variation of the I heart NY logo that was created in 1977 by Milton Glaser for an ad campaign created by advertising agency Wells Rich Greene. The marketing campaign was sought by then-Deputy Commissioner William S. Doyle to increase tourism in the state of New York. The campaign was a wild success. The original sketch of the logo is permanently on display at the MOMA.


The logo has become iconic in pop-culture and has been imitated in many forms around the world.

This button was manufactured by the Busy Beaver Button Co.
