Big East Best: West Virginia

Big East Worst: DePaul -- by far

Big Ten Best: Iowa

Big Ten Worst: Purdue

Pac 10 Best: (tie) Arizona State/Stanford

Worst: Tie (South Florida and Syracuse)

I guess I'll assume youre using this logo which was replaced in 2003 and the new one that replaced it.

Personally there is no competition there, in the Big East USF's new logo isn't the best, but it sure as heck isn't the worst.

Indeed. DePaul is by far the worst. The new SU big orange "S" is boring, but it's not worth being call the worst. Other candidates for worst in the conference are Georgetown's boring "G" that replaced the dog, and the Rutgers "R."

I'd like to see you come up with something when you'd like to keep the nickname in the face of the NCAA jumping on everything that is "hostile and abusive". <_<

(And yes, apparently what they have now is so hostile and abusive that they lost the first appeal.)

The "hostile and abusive" crackdown is dumb, but I still feel the logo is boring. Just stylizing the fonts a bit would help. It's just not visually appealing at all. I feel the same way about most logos that are just block letters.

Big 10:

Best: Purdue

Worst: Mich St.

Are you saying the Michigan State "S" or the spartan helmet. Because if its the "S" then Penn State would also have to be there. By the way, I dont think there are any bad logos in the Big Ten, but the spartan helmet is, by far, one of the best.

well the big 10 and the pac 10 was the 2 hardest ones to do.......when i think of penn st i think of the lion head, and i base mich st. on S and the Startian, its kind outdated, i mean look what San Jose St. did to improve from that same logo a few years back

The MSU Spartan helmet outdated?! How about no. It is classic in it's simple yet bold style. And I don't view San Jose St. version as an improvement.

And Washington St's cougar head is an example in genius design. My vote for worst in the Pac-10 would be Arizona.

I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

If by "improve" you mean "make ten times worse," then yes, San Jose State "improved" on the Michigan State spartan head logo. <_< Honestly, do you have eyes? San Jose State made an ancient historical piece of fearsome battle equipment look like a pineapple hat worn by a drunk boater at a Jimmy Buffet concert.

well i'm not a big fan of old, plain logos(yes i'm a fan of modern logos there i said it!!! :D ) so thats why i said what i did about mich st.............................and on the bucky beaver, who made that new verson of him, that looks really good

I like a lot of the BigTen logos, but here are my favorite:

1. Michigan (Helmet-logo. I know it's not an official "logo", but it looks sweet on merchandise. The block "M" in the square is sweet as well. I'm not a huge fan of the "split M" logo with "MICHIGAN" in it, but the Nike version is nice. I am a homer. Deal with it.)

2. Ohio State. I know it will get me shot here in Ann Arbor, but the Buckeyes' primary logo, and block O are sweet. Their uniforms and team gear is cool. I could do without the black on the clothing, but the scarlet and grey is sweet. I need to vomit now.

3. Penn State. Circle logo with the lion head is awesome. They do it right in Happy Valley.

4. Wisconsin. I love Bucky Badger. All the Wisconsin gear I see I like. Hell, I even bought a Bucky logo hat in Madison for the football game. They look great, and I love the hockey unis.

5. Iowa. I dig the TigerHawk logo, but hate the Steelers uniforms. I liked the banana peel for a while, and really liked the 97 Tim Dwight with IOWA on them.

6. Illinois. The chief and circle I logo are nice.

7. Michigan State. I like the spartan head, hate the block S, but like the block S on the helmets much better than the Spartan Head. Go figure. I think MSU had perfect unis in 2001 with Duckett and Smoker there. I also like the basketball font.

8. Purdue. The train logo is cool, and I like the black and gold, but it really doesn't scream "tradition" to me, which I like in BigTen schools.

9. Indiana. A whole lot of blah. Not a huge fan.

10. Northwestern. The logo is cool, I guess, but I just can't get into the purple.

11. Minnesota. Absolutely disgusting.
