Our Company Mascot
A Large Juvenile Aquatic Larva aka, a Tiger Salamander
“What is your mascot?” asks everyone
Our Company Mascot was inspired by the Larva of the Tiger Salamander before metamorphosis — the large Larvae (Mud Dogs) are also referred to as water dogs or mud puppies. The Tiger Salamander is one of the largest terrestrial salamanders in North America.
A dominant force both offshore and onshore, the Mud Dog adapts and thrives in both environments. Similarly, CETCO Energy Services is a dominant force in the Oil & Gas Industry thriving both onshore and offshore by aggressively pursuing innovative
and unique solutions for our customers to solve, treat, handle and manage their problematic fluid challenges in all market conditions.

How Our Company Mascot Came Into Existence
In
the early years, we wanted to do something unconventional to draw folks’ attention at trade shows. Being innovative, we displayed a tank of tiger salamanders allowing our sales team to answer questions about these mystical creatures and likewise
explain our unique services and solutions in the Oil & Gas Industry as COMPLEX FLUID EXPERTS. It was a simple connection considering we are both an aggressive force in water and on land.
Our Mascot – Caricature
As our portfolio rapidly grew and we became more diverse, we fashioned a caricature of the tiger salamander as our brand ambassador. The caricature is of a large Juvenile Aquatic Larva, signifying the next phase of metamorphosis into a terrestrial adult when moving to land. Our mascot represents our versatility and dominance onshore and offshore. We christened it “Mud Dog®” and legally registered the motif. Our Mud Dog mascot differentiates us from our competition and is instantly recognized globally in CETCO’s branding. It is now our calling card – personifying our unique and versatile approach to CLEAR SOLUTIONS for COMPLEX FLUID challenges, for our customers, and the environment.
Our mascot is so admired,
we have even seen multiple rig workers displaying tattoos of our Mud Dog. That’s real love!
Mud Dog and CETCO Anatomy
