Many internet sources state that Drake designed the iconic logo for the [[Chicago Bulls]] basketball team. But the Chicago Bulls organization has documentation and a published book saying it was designed by Dean Wessel and obituaries confirm this.

Theodore W. Drake (September 2, 1907 – May 25, 2000)[1] was an American cartoonist, graphic artist, and sports artist known for creating the college-sports mascot the Notre Dame Leprechaun.
Drake is probably best remembered for the creation of the Notre Dame Leprechaun, for which he was paid $50.[2] The Leprechaun was first used on the 1964 football pocket schedule and later on the football program covers,[citation needed] and featured on the cover of Time magazine in November 1964.[3] Ted Drake should also be remembered for creating the Chicago Bulls logo in 1966.[4] In the early 1950s, Drake was the main graphic artist for the Kukla, Fran and Ollie television puppet show, creating its opening titles along with album covers, newsletters, advertisements, and even Christmas cards.[5]
