One of his works:

Try it with my modified Kagavi Orr-nado. The top of the old one always bothered me some:

You're in the minority. The tornado is a superior logo regardless of your (or my) opinion of it's aesthetics. It's graphically stronger than the block I confused by the s-t-a-t-e text. It's cleaner and uncomplicated. Look at ASU; I love the cartoon Sparky but they made the right move with their new trident logo. And I'd love to see us put a giant walking Cy on the helmet...but the tornado is still a better logo.

The problem with the I-State logo is they over complicated it with all the shades and bevels. All those fancy things are fine for University Mark but for an Athletic mark they make things too busy. It looks better without all the shades and makes it better for reprinting on shirts etc. Simpler is usually better and classic. This is why the block outline I-state we have used on some of the helmets looks so good.
Here is a better example from Kagavi:

It looks ok but those shades are bad, all that extra shading and bevels is what is wrong with our logo now. Keep it simple, like all the other timeless logos.

Definitely would go one tone but taking the top off makes it look a little more modern and less like a g-string

My gawd I’ve been struggling for tatoo ideas lately but I’m totally getting the tornado logo now. I love Iowa State and I love tornadoes. It’s a double dip tat.

I might be in the minority but I like all our new Logos. At 1st I wasn't sure but they have all grown on me and I love them.

I like the I-State logo. Although on a helmet, it's nice to have a team name icon / logo version as an alternate. The Cyclone I've been showcasing isn't one that I did, but it is a great update to the 80's version.

Exactly this. Imo we wouldn't have to change a thing about where and how we mark JTS or Hilton or any of the uniforms...just get the I-State off the helmet and put the tornado on it. And give people the opportunity to buy tornado merch.

I like these.

Except that the white on black still blows chunks. An outline of Cardinal, even a fine one, might help. Cardinal on black might be even better.

So, I guess now I can forgive McCarney for adding blue to the color schemes? Nope! But I had no idea there were actually cardinals with blue on them...

Red helmet, white jersey, gray pants?

OMG!!!! You've done it. I take back everything I said about liking the I-State logo over the tornado now.

You need to be hired immediately by JP for the art department.

That white one with the gold facemask..... holy s**t that's sick.

Could you also do a cardinal one with a gold facemask?

This is ok, I still like the original better, but this one is way better than the one in your avatar.

I like the new one too. I understand I am clearly in the minority but it grew on me. I don’t like it on helmets but otherwise it is fine. I hate all of the bird cartoons. I don’t mind Cy as a mascot but just not a logo. Tornadoes and I-State only please.

What would these look like if you put a stencil version of the Istate logo on the back like Oregon puts an O on the back of there helmets? To messy?

It would have to be pretty small I think, there is a lot back there already with the Flags and such, plus if we continue to give helmet sticker awards that area may get taken up.
Although maybe small I-state stencil logo, helmet stickers, would be cool.

Looks great. But the color is more maroon like Minn, ASU wears than cardinal
