What is this 1988 Calgary Olympics Logo?
Hidy and Howdy, the Welcome Bears, were the official mascots of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. These cowboy-hat, Canadian flag waving polar bears were selected by a committee from major Calgary department stores in early 1983 to represent the northern climate. It was the first time in Olympic history that both a male and female mascot were chosen. A contest named them Hidy and Howdy, blending proper names with a typical western greeting.
