Theodore "Ted" W. Drake (September 2, 1907 – May 25, 2000) 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.[1] The Leprechaun was first used on the 1964 football pocket schedule and later on the football program covers.[citation needed] An immediate success, the Leprechaun was featured on the cover of Time magazine in November 1964.[citation needed]
Drake also designed the Chicago Bulls logo.[citation needed]
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.[2]
