Every four years since 2000, AIGA has engaged communication designers across the country in this nonpartisan voter mobilization campaign. This exhibition is part of a series nationwide featuring select posters by AIGA members and influencers, motivating eligible citizens to register and vote, and telling the story of Design for Democracy.  Presented by UCO Melton Gallery, AIGA Oklahoma, and League of Women Voters.

Buddy Broncho made his first appearance in UCO's own newspaper The Vista. It was the October 3, 1932, issue where a Broncho appears wearing a UCO football uniform. He has appeared numerous times throughout the years from local Edmond papers in the 60's to state-wide papers in the 80's. The commissioning of the first ever live mascot appears in UCO's 1979 Bronze Book where Buddy Broncho made his first public appearance at Homecoming. Since that time, Buddy has been a fixture at UCO events and in the hearts of UCO students.
