Stickman or Alive Guy?

I have always called the iconic symbol for Pearl Jam found on the Alive album the "Alive Guy." But I see its being called "Stickman". Is there an official name?

    and in one of the contests for the deep mag a while back, it was to design a flag. it said, to paraphrase "no stickman flags will be considered".

    I think I've usually referred to is at the stickman logo.

    Well since I got that tattoo in '92 I have referred to it as Stickman or The Pearl Jam Stickman. I came home one day after getting it done and my mom said "a stickman, really"? Little did she know....

    Finally. Someone who knows. Officially they might call it stickman, but it's always will be the "alive guy"
    The name Stickman has no reference to pearl jam. Alive guy references the song Alive and the the feeling of Pearl jams music

    well, the band/fan club themselves call it the Stickman. sometimes varied with Alive Stickman or Pearl Jam Stickman. before today, never once heard it referred to as alive "guy".

    I've never heard it called Alive guy until this thread. Always stickman.

    (Side note: Wouldn't Jeremy be more appropriate than Alive guy ... Arms raised in a V).

    I've always preferred "Alive Guy."

    Jeremy would not be more appropriate, as it was the cover art of the Alive single.
