One of my favorite fun mascots is the "Fighting Artichokes" from <a href="http://www.scottsdalecc.edu/athletics/index.html">Scottsdale Arizona</a>. There are two colleges around where I live that went through the mandated mascot change and it can be a tough to get everyone on board. It can be costly too as all the schools signage, marketing materials, etc. have to be redone as well as a good PR and marketing campaign to get the positive spin. For elementary or secondary schools it may not be as problematic. I definitely agree with the idea of updating the logo and look. If this hasn't been done in 10 years or more then a school should definitely consider it. <a href="http://www.sportslogos.net/league.php?id=30">SportsLogos.net</a> is a great website where you can look at hundreds of school logos. They are all college and pro level sports, but would be great help get ideas for schools too. Those are some pretty unusual college mascots!
