cyclonefan_1 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Iowa State has recently released new logos to represent the mascot, Cy. They came out relatively without notice and have not came up at any games but the university trademark office has released them. The whole body Cy logo reminds me of our old "Punching Cy" that so many Iowa State fans love.Whole Body CyOld "Punching Cy" for comparison4 different head shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fixer Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I like them but not as much as http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=iu685g4n6nednmrq0s9pid1n6 and I like that one worse than http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=bh28xfef6dqnz6eiw43d3od7j. I wish they would stick with a brand. They have had so many good and solid identities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 the head and script logos are fantastic. far better than their current I and script logo. great stuff from them me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerodynamix Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I like how they retrofitted the 'walking cardinal', and the bird head in a tornado with the wordmark above. My only issue with both though, is the eye of Cy the cardinal itself. I feel like it's incomplete without the eye being filled in along with having a pupil in the eye also.

kc51design Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 wow, love it. And love the fact that they avoided black in outlines, and did it all with two reds. Great update. lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Put that puppy on a helmet and call it a day.Took the words right out of my mouth. Excellent logo, couldn't have been any better, I'm hoping this will appear on their football uniforms.

I actually like the current helmet design (minus the grey mask-make it red). I do think these cardinal logos are nice, though. I was always wondering when they'd come around. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Maybe it's just me, but didn't Iowa State go through all this song and dance about their new identity getting away from the old bird/cyclone just two years ago? First they don't come through with the gold helmet as promised... now the bird/cyclone (albeit a different one) is back?I like the new logos, I like the double-red, and I like the way they incorporated a cyclone this time, but as I stated in another thread recently: Aren't there enough Cardinal heads in profile on helmets already. No need for another one, even if they do buck the trend and put it on a non-white helmet and draw a circle around it. It'd still be yet another Cardinal head on a helmet -- for a team named the Cyclones. Thought that was one of the issues that brought on this I-State era.

JaxNoles Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I would've brought back the navy blue for the outline. I don't like the two reds. Navy may not be a traditional ISU color, but back when they used it (the Seneca Wallace days) I thought they had a very nice look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Blue Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Iowa State has usually had good logos. I like all of these but I don't understand why they continue to cycle through new looks.Great colors for ISU as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 My favorite look was still the early 90's look with "Iowa State" above a cyclone on the helmet. The Blaise Bryant years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 My favorite look was still the early 90's look with "Iowa State" above a cyclone on the helmet. The Blaise Bryant years.Those were the 80s And I believe Blaise had "Cyclones" script with only one underline underneath it, not the cyclone. But I digress - both of those 80's yellow helmets are two of my favorites as well. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

BrandMooreArt Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 its not the most original logo, but it is well crafted and certainly works for them. i really dig it. theres just no way you could use black in this, it'd be too close to the the AZ Cards. id rather see that darker red a bit darker still, providing more contrast but you got to work with what the school gives you. well done i hope they keep the red helmet but thats me GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
