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
explaining 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 named it “Mud Dog®” and legally registered the motif. Our Mud Dog mascot differentiates us from our competition and is instantly recognized
globally in all of 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 for the environment.
Our mascot is so admired,
we have even seen multiple rig workers displaying tattoos of our Mud Dog. That’s real love!
