Surrounded by a cast of characters on the steps of the New York Public Library, Sparky the Fire Dog® stepped out in true fire-safety style in New York City. In town to kick-off Advertising Week and the Madison Avenue Walk of Fame, Sparky and his fellow icons immediately caught the attention of passersby, many of whom jumped up on the steps for a unique photo opportunity with this unsual bunch. The characters mingled with the crowd before joining a private event inside where the favorite icon for 2012, selected by public vote, was announced. “Flo” from Progressive was selected as this year’s winner.

Do you recognize all the members of this star-studded group?
