Clarkee the Platypus
Australia has featured many native animals within their businesses/advertising. Examples include the Rosella tomato sauce company that has the Australian Eastern Rosella parrot as its logo, the koala within the Caramello Koala Cadbury chocolate bar and the Kangaroo for Qantas Airlines. Another Australian animal that is a mascot and also part of an Australian brand is the platypus. Clarkee the platypus is a yellow and blue platypus and features in the logo for Clark Rubber. Clark Rubber is a well known store through out Australia and has been around since 1948. They specialise in pools, rubber and foam for businesses and individuals. Read more about their history here . Clarkee in the past was featured in TV commercials, such as in these old TV commercials. I visited my local Clark Rubber to take photos of Clarkee within their store advertising. I also recently purchased a Clarkee the Platypus plush online (was released for marketing purposes).
