The Hornet is Southern Polytechnic State University's mascot. He is a green and yellow "running" hornet with no legs and muscular arms. "Horny the Hornet" is his unofficial name.

History

Fall 2004

Horny the Hornet got a new look. Students voted on three different designs. The reason Horny got a new look was because SPSU recieved a letter from a law office asking the school if they would like to renew the trademark of The Hornet. Many of the staff were unaware of the trademark, and did not like the Horny image that was trademarked, so they began to redisgn him. SPSU hired Brainstorm Design Works to create the new design.

Fall 2005

Julie Bates, SPSU's cheerleading coach, and the SPSU Textile Department are currently working on a Hornet suit. The suit will be unveiled at the opening basketball game, November 1, 2005.
