I think everyone here would admit that the current Cy logo is less popular than it could be, especially in light of many great vintage versions.

BUT! Each vintage logo had some minor issues, so I created an entirely new logo by taking pieces from each old logo. It fits right in any period of Cyclone history.

It's part of my new story here: http://www.kagavi.com/a-timeless-legacy/ where I also discuss Jack Trice and the overall branding package.

What say you?

Cy certainly doesn't need to wear shoes. I actually favor this walking Cy:

Was it you that created ^this^?

Angry walking Cy, has always been the best logo in my opinion. Followed by Cy leaning on the 'I'

Not gonna lie, I don't like it. Sorry. His mouth looks odd. You removed the flag but it looks like he is still biting down on something with the circle at the back of his mouth and a crease in his ”cheek" area. Kinda looks like he has a dip in or something.

Who cares what i say? My preferences rarely represent current notions of what looks good. I just like the idea of getting a true cyclone back into the mix. If it is up to me, I think ISU should just hire you to take the input of all relevant parties and make the decisions for us!

The mouth is the only thing I don't like. Makes me think of Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade.

When I see this I instantly think Louisville. This is a better Cy (besides the blue color)

I think the mouth should be open, because Cy the mascot's mouth is open.
