More Information on This Logo

The Billiken was born Oct. 8, 1908, when Kansas City art teacher and illustrator Florence Pretz patented a design for an elflike creature with pixie ears, a mischievous smile and a tuft of hair on his pointed head. Reportedly, the image came to her in a dream. Although it didn\'t appear on the actual patent, some believe Pretz found the Billiken name in a fanciful work entitled, Mr. Moon: A Song of the Little People, by Canadian poets Bliss Carman and Richard Hovey.
