Which one is better? Be honest!

I don't think that this is even a choice. Don't know if I'd call them timeless, but I don't care for the beveling on the old I-State and hate the bugle and Bucky-Cy. I do think that the oval Cy as a secondary logo has grown on me some.
As of right now there are 11 people that voted "Current" and I'm going to need the mods to perma-ban each and every one of them.
I wouldn't last long as a mod, I'd ban too many posters.
The word marks could effectively be the same mark just for different production uses. Both are the best we've ever had. Some previous word marks were disasters.
The cyclone on the right is clearly more timeless but presents a problem that it's not the most natural fit with a block letter word mark.
I'm not sure either walking Cy is timeless. The one on the right has nostalgia value that adds something but it doesn't look like something that could have been created in any decade.
As long as we have a mascot in a cardinal suit there's no option to go Cyclone only. People will visualize the mascot and you want to control that. The new walking Cy has some line weight issues that limit its application compared to the more vintage. The vintage walking Cy fits a little better with I State word mark than either of the cyclones.

So obviously timeless. And it's not close. Why this A.D. can't wise up and start using the tornado again is beyond me. It's not zero sum. FSU does it and we easily could too. We could keep the I-State everywhere it is with the exception of the helmets, that's it... Why...WHY is this so hard???
I just DO NOT get it...
I feel like the AD is leaving so much money on the table. The tornado logo (just the logo, no text) would sell like hotcakes. Symbols sell; the Longhorn sells, the Powercat sells, the Sundevil Trident sells ...and the Orrnado will too.
PREACH BROTHER! It really kind of makes me mad the people in power can't see that.
Because they want to double down and not admit it was a bad design they approved and used.
I've also never heard it called wisky-cy until this thread, but now I totally see it. No wonder Pollard is in love with it.
We might get there after JP pays another set of consultants to come with a 'new' concept that we already know is preferred.
