This is the best. Could've just updated the font a bit and gone with this rather than I-State.
Should be the definitive primary mark, with some of the other throwback Cy's (walking, etc) as secondaries.
Let's talk about ISU logos that feature an actual Cyclone

Do you mean the ESPNU logos? Like for every team, they change the "U" into something mascot related? Most of those are pretty cool, but I dunno about the Iowa State one. It definitely is a cardinal, though ...http://i338.photobucket.com/user/cyclonefan_1/media/Mobile Uploads/0119012153a.jpg.html?t=1295589360
There's still an official twirly bird secondary logo that doesn't have any wording.
I think that was dropped a couple years after it came out. I don't think there is any official swirly bird cy any longer. I'm sure someone can confirm.
Here try this video - if I can get it to work. ISU is about the fourth one.

This is no longer a secondary logo. It has been retired and will eventually be a part of the Vintage Collection. It was replaced by these two logos.

Always hated that barrell-chested Cy. Too much like Bucky Badger. The Cy head with the whirling oval has grown on me some thought.
Bucky Badger and Louisville Cy. Both new ones were misfires IMO.

The thing that is nice is it is INFINITELY easier to find stuff with the Vintage logos on it now that it was 5 years ago. Maybe even just two years ago.
It's all over the place, so I usually buy the Vintage, which makes me not care so much that the new ones aren't my thing.

Give me back the 84 version for hoops. It sorta looks like a ball just swished through a net. It's perfect for the Hoiberg era.

Goodness, I hated the '84 logo. But then, I went from watching Earl Bruce teams to the Criner teams. I think I was scarred.
I've never really warmed to this logo, but I admit that I was very partial to the "punching Cy" with the updated color scheme and was mad when that got ditched as the secondary logo. Still, it's 100% better than the puffed out chest CY logo.
