I don't think I'm a fan of just having the outline of the state. It looks a little too much like a neon bar sign this way. I'd prefer a solid "filled-in" version.

Yeah, I'm a fan of the shaded one as well. Unfortunately, none of the designs will have unanimous backing. Unlike the rejection of the original Iowa Corn Trophy.

What would this look like if the state shape were filled in WITH the border? Also, the "Deep in the corn" court would probably look better if the corn were scaled back and not taking up so much of the court. Just my opinion. Great work thus far!

While I agree with the idea of having something that looks filled in, I don't think we could use a school color, as that would blend with the borders of either the I or the STATE. Maybe just a darker wood stain?

other than the announcement of hot tubs in the SEZ we may never see such a united CF again

Somewhere in the U.S.
There was an image once of CY standing with hands on hips, over an outline of the state of Iowa that I always thought would look good on the center of the court.

It's funny that this has been brought up.
I recently just spoke to one of ISU's graphic designers and he told me they're in the middle of redesigning the court. It will be redesigned by next season.

Things he mentioned:
All red paint will be a slightly darker red.
There will be a bit of a retro/clean look.
No more paint in the lane. The red lanes will just be outlines.

he didn't touch on the center court logo.

I really like number 2. I have often thought that ISU should feature the logo with an outline of the state of Iowa. I just thought that that was a natural, and thought ISU should be The First in the state to do that before another school does --- if you get my drift.

Could we remove the ISU logo, and instead get pictures of a guy ******* on the Hawkeye Logo, shiting on the UNI logo, and barfing on the Drake logo :jimlad:.

Was this a Fran quote?


Maybe in this whole court design, we can embed one of these just off the main floor in front of Fred's bench:

6a00d83451616069e201538e3d4e36970b-350wi

It would be a nice little tribute and would give announcers something to talk for years if they get tired of talking about Fred's championships.

I'd like to see a school use an actual court design that looked like an old-school coach's chalkboard.

(It would work only for green-and-white teams, probably).

I actually like this...

But you old fogey's need to realize, looking cool is actually a big deal to young people. Something to get more pumped up about, new jerseys, cool court designs, everything.

It wouldn't surprise me since they have to have the new Big 12 logo on the floor starting next year anyways, you might as well redesign the floor in the process. I'm pretty excited to see what they end up doing then!

Pretty partial to this one. Not sure why. See avatar.

2 or 3 or this one. Or just put the new XII logo on our existing court. And I don't like Orr's signature on the floor - that belongs to Hoiberg after he takes us to the promised land. Yeah, yeah, I know, people would say that Hoiberg would say that it belongs to Orr, but first that's him being humble, and second Orr would say that he's been honored enough and that it belongs to Hoiberg.

This one FTW if ISU still has Pioneer sponsoring the floor! If not, then instead of the Pioneer logos, put James H. Hilton Coliseum across the bottom while still inbounds. Also add the new Big 12 logos under the freethrow line then its perfect!
