The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) is inviting the public to help choose the name of the cartoon character modeled after the REAL Seal (RS) logo. The character greets visitors to the website and will be used in other applications in the future.

Throughout the summer, NMPF used the REAL Seal website and Facebook page to gather submissions for the naming contest. More than 110 individual suggestions were entered. After a review process, the three most fitting candidates were selected:
  • Dairyus: submitted by Kathryn in Clermont, Iowa (honorable mentions to Ed in Tipton, Iowa, and Joe in Washington, DC, for alternate spellings)
  • Milkdrop: submitted separately by Roger in Franklin, Kentucky, and Cecelia in Amelia, Virginia
  • Roscow: submitted by Gavin in Fairfax, Virginia (honorable mention to Sara in East Syracuse, New York, for an alternate spelling)
To choose among the three finalists, visit theRS website page.The campaign also is being promoted at theSeal’s Facebook page. The online voting link will be open through Nov. 5. Only one vote per computer will be allowed. Results will be announced Nov. 13 at the NMPF annual meeting in Phoenix.
