Top Five

Numerous notable high school nicknames in Indiana pay homage to their town or history. Below are the state's top five best vintage logos, accompanied by some honorable mentions.

• • Frankfort High School Hot Dogs (Frankfort, IN)
    
• • Description: Frankfort High School, nicknamed the Hot Dogs, features a logo of a small, ferocious-looking dog with an 'F' on its collar and body, instead of representing the food item.
  • Opinion: The combination of a famous food as its nickname and an actual dog as the logo mascot makes the Frankfort High School Hot Dogs one of the most memorable brands in the entire country.



• Hobart High School Brickies (Hobart, IN)
  
• • Description: A man, dressed in purple and yellow attire and recognized as a bricklayer or 'bricky', displays a large 'H' for Hobart while holding a shovel with coal in one hand and a brick in the other.
  • Opinion:  The name "Brickies" stands out as an uncommon and characterful mascot, with its logo having a smile on its face, and appearing prideful of its labor and the school it represents.



• Noblesville High School Millers (Noblesville, IN)
• • Description: The school's mascot, featured on the logo, portrays a sturdy man carrying a sack over his shoulder, known as a Miller, paying homage to the historic Noblesville Milling Company located in the same town as the school.
  • Opinion: While the character may initially appear to be just a strong man carrying a sack, there is a deeper meaning behind it being a so-called Miller, which adds complexity and depth to the logo.



• Northeast Dubois High School Jeeps (Dubois, IN)
• • Description: The logo displays a fictional animal, a Jeep, positioned between two large ND letters representing Northeast Dubois.
  • Opinion: The Jeep resembles a combination of an elephant and a rat, creating an intimidating and creepy-looking mascot that nobody else has, setting the school apart from others.



• Shoals Community Junior-Senior High School Jug Rox (Shoals, IN)
  
• • Description: The Shoals Community Junior-Senior High School Jug Rox logo presents a weird rock figure mascot that pays homage to the nearby Jug Rock, a free-standing sandstone formation located in a nature preserve near the school.
  • Opinion: One of the strangest logos in the country, but that's the beauty of it—the figure is a funky, irregular-shaped rock resembling a person with a face, arms, and legs, all while maintaining an old-school look.
