Thats what i said..our logo is recognizable because of the success of our basketball team on a national scope.. what are you arguing? other than the fact you obviously love the logo for some reason.. and im in the extreme minority that don't like? I think you could do a poll that would tell you otherwise.
But it is kinda pointless to talk about on here anyways because there is an "extreme minority" on here that have any sort of clue about design or good taste..so i'll just leave this thread alone.
All I can say is overall I am happy with what we have..because after seeing people's opinions and mockups on here, it could be way worse LOL
These 16 combos (not including the first 2) were used at least once between 2012 and 2015.
No, you're missing the point - whose logo ISN'T recognizeable without considering the success they had on the field with that logo?
However, that design is cool, yet nags at me too, so I made this variation the following week to eliminate the redundant "I":

That is a cool concept. Good work.
I didn't realize Toledo had that many helmet versions in such a short period.
Although I like Toledo's color-set, the dark blue & yellow, I don't like many of those helmet designs. A couple of the simple rocket logo look OK, the number-on-helmet is hard to mess up, so that's fine.
All the versions with an overlapping U-T look poorly designed to me. The direct-overlap UT looks like it's "TU."
I hope if Iowa State uses multiple helmet alternates, it's better than that collection.
Per t-noah's request:
I started from scratch, using my initial template and revised based on most of your suggestions, including tapered helmet stripe and reduced used of white trim. I kept the gold closer to mustard than current yellow-gold, but that's easy enough to adjust.
Here's the standard home uniform, using the gold-cardinal-gold combo.
I can make other versions within the framework, including cardinal and white helmet versions, all-whites, tornado alternate helmet logo, and standard road uniform. If you have subtle changes to this, I can edit.

You certainly can't be talking about my bib overall concept.
We change our names to the Celts, or the Ebdanians, Picts, Caledonians. I like where this is going...
That was one of my favorites so far! Can you make up a John Deere logo next?
Stick with I-State logo on helmets for the most part. Secondary logos can be implemented occasionally. But we really need to keep pushing our I-State logo and continue to build on the exposure our BB program has given.
Non-Iowa State fans don't have a clue as to what the swirly Cyclone symbol stands for. And the use of our mascot Cy is confusing as hell to Non-Iowa State fans as well. Some think it refers to Illinois State Redbirds or the Louisville Cardinals.

How is having the istate logo on our helmets building exposure specifically. If I am flipping through channels of games, I dont need to look at the helmets to know who is playing and neither does anyone else. You either already know who is playing because you know what games are on or you look at the score in the corner and read the team abbreviations. I couldn't tell you what grambling for examples uniforms look like but If I see the abbreviation I know who it is. Nobody is watching a game and saying, hmmm never heard of this ISU team but now i know their logo and then 3 months later turn the tv on and say....hmmmm that must be ISU because I recognze the logo. Thats silly. Besides you will see the primary logo next to the score and in and out of commercial breaks and pregame and halftime. If the Hawkeyes are playing and they take the logo off the helmet, do you really think nobody knows who they are? Besides, who cares if people dont recognize it, if they dont they probably arent sports fans so what difference does it make. and why do we care if some 70 year old woman in Idaho knows what our logo looks like? I guarantee that every college sports fan can describe our logo.
IMHO, too close. Illinois State logo:

Say there is a store that has an amazing amount of Iowa State merchandise. It has t-shirts/sweatshirts/polos with every ISU logo since their beginning until the current logos. Which ones do you think would get the highest purchase rate?
In my humble opinion our current stock of logos is among the most vanilla and bland that Iowa State has ever had. The "I-State" logo wouldn't make my Top Ten.
Similar to what has been said on here, the logo has become somewhat recognizable not because of its greatness, it's become recognizable because the basketball team has become national for the past six seasons.
Here is a list of Iowa State's logos.

I wouldn't mind doing throwsback with a ISC logo for one game. It does at have to every year either.
I'm thinking a tractor logo on the helmet specifically for use when ISU enters the Case I-H Red Zone. They could have a TV timeout and switch helmets. Could probably get Case I-H to pay for them.
WOW- the 1984-2006 window of time was a dark, dark era for logos at ISU. Just awful
