OMG!!!! JP, hire this guy immediately! This is exactly what I've had in my mind for years, but could never get it to look right on paper.

You've done it!!!!

its nearly impossible to notice on the jersey but i redesigned the 'tornado swirl' from the old 80s logo. i really would love to see the tornado aspect of our identity brought back in some capacity. i realize the I-STATE mark is here to stay but that doesnt mean we cant have some secondary mark(s) or options that can add to our identity. here is my little redesign:

This is the same as the ugly green tree that Baylor wears--way too shiny helmets with way too dark of green. It's the same uniform, just in red.

I thought we all wanted to be creative?

(I'm going to use "we" rather than name our designers over & over again if that's okay)

We've altered the logo to a stencil which looks like a fantastic improvement. The beveled look is great on a white helmet, as it was originally designed for, but some of us have never really embraced it on a cardinal helmet. It doesn't "pop" as well as it should.

We've brought back true gold in the form of "metallic chrome" which is definitely a fad, but looks far better than 49er gold, IMO. Visually speaking, I think the reflective gold conflicts less with our traditional "yellow" gold rather than 49er or Notre Dame gold as well- it's brighter. The gold helmet/cardinal jersey/cardinal pants look is sharp. We've also updated the old 80s Criner funnel which is less cluttered and more powerful than blender bird. (speaking of which: does anyone have a stencil design for the classic "walking" Cy?)

Some of these ideas have been discussed before, but this is the best executed creativity I've witnessed so far.

Loyal Gold. Cardinal True.
Sons & Daughters. ISU.

Really like the updated tornado logo. I never understood why we don't feature the Cyclone / Tornado aspect of our "brand" more prominently. If I recall correctly we're one of the few schools with the nickname Cyclones yet we chose the bland "I State" as our primary identity mark.

I like it but its too similar to OU
I agree, I think it needs more gold or something. It looks pretty badass but there's something about it that's too close to OU. With all the talk about old logos in the other thread, would anyone be able to mock up Walking Cy on a helmet?

I have a stencil walking Cy on a tshirt back home. I'll need to upload a pic of it. I think it'd look great on a helmet as well.

For those that would like more gold to differentiate from OU, what would the white jersey with gold helmet and gold pants look like?
