The people have spoken, and the top three proposals for the new mascot of Florida State College at Jacksonville are: kraken, manta ray or sea dragon.

Almost 9,000 votes were cast for potential mascot names over the course of four weeks from October to November.

Now the community is being asked to cast one more vote and choose among these three as their favorite mascot to represent the college.
