Vučko (mascot)

Vučko
Mascot of the 1984 Winter Olympics (Sarajevo)
CreatorJože Trobec
SignificanceA wolf

Vučko (Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Вучко) is the Olympic mascot of the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. It was created by the Slovenian painter Jože Trobec. The mascot is a wolf, many of which live in the Dinaric Alps, where Sarajevo is located.[1] Through his smiling, frightened or serious facial expressions, Vučko gave the wolf a friendly appearance, helping to transform the often fierce image which the animal previously enjoyed.[2][3]

The mascot was chosen through a contest entered by 836 participants. After an initial selection, six projects were chosen. The other proposals were a snowball, a mountain goat, a weasel, a lamb and a hedgehog.[3] Readers of various newspapers and magazines could later vote for the final mascot.[2] In the final poll, Vučko received more votes than all the other candidate mascots combined.[3]
