The Tomcat logo design came when Grumman's Director of Presentation Services, Dick Milligan, and one of his artists, Grumman employee Jim Rodriguez, were asked for a logo by Grumman's Director of Business Development and former Blue Angels No. 5 pilot, Norm Gandia.<ref name=f-14assoc-02>{{cite web |title=Tomcat Association |url=http://www.f-14association.com/tales/the-birth-of-the-tomcat-logo.html |access-date=26 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026163205/http://www.f-14association.com/tales/the-birth-of-the-tomcat-logo.html |archive-date=26 October 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> Per Rodriguez, "He asked me to draw a lifelike Tomcat wearing boxing gloves and trunks sporting a six-shooter on his left side, where the guns are located on the F-14, along with two tails."  The cat was drawn up after a tabby cat was sourced, used for photographs, and named "Tom".  The logo has gone through many variations, including one for the then–[[Imperial Iranian Air Force]] F-14, called "Ali-cat".  The accompanying slogan, "Anytime Baby!" was developed by Norm Gandia as a challenge to the U.S. Air Force's McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.<ref name=f-14assoc-02/><ref>[http://www.grummanpark.org/content/tomcat-logo The Tomcat Logo {{!}} Grumman Memorial Park] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120728231346/http://www.grummanpark.org/content/tomcat-logo |date=28 July 2012}}.
