I like em both, two of our best Away looks. Of the two I rate w/w/c my favorite.

I made a post not too long ago saying these might be 3 good ways to layout the Ornado on helmet.
. Since then I've compared our original tornado, the amestoplease first adaption, and Draf's (really it's amestoplease'/not Draf's design) tornado design and found a better Ornado.
I didn't realize until a few days ago how much better Draf's (no, amestoplease' 2nd) design really is. If you don't carefully compare them you would never know. Next post compares amestoplease (1st ?) adaptation vs. Draf and ameastoplease' 2nd (?) design...

Amestoplease 2nd design and Draf's depiction against my same three.
Pretty clear to me the 2nd amestoplease design and Draf tornado looks better (top row/red helmet), has more tilt which looks better and is a bit beefier, like it's gained 20 pounds. I will call it the Cy-nado? for now. I believe it is just what we might be looking for. Similar but different from what we've had in the past. A new future. One of our new secondary logos!
Good job @amestoplease first, and @Draf!

Draf-nado against my two possible adaptations.
The first row of mine looks the best, definitely, just like Draf's on top. Tornado tail facing forward. Draf right again. The second row, tail rear-facing, is OK but front facing tail looks better with Draf design.

T-Noah. I can't take credit for the Cyclone design I used on my helmet — however, I'm glad you like how it turned out. Here it is on a white helmet.
Nice! With the gold and two cardinal stripes, it looks really good. It might be even better if the segments on the logo were very thinly outlined in gold.
Great! I also like how you display your helmets, front, back, and both sides. And on this one, the Lt. side, the side we usually don't see.
With the symmetrical design, front facing tail it frames the face/facemask perfectly. Also this design of the Cyclone looks just as good on the left side as it does on the right. Our older tornado/cyclone and the amestoplease 1st adaptation, did not look as good on the Lt. side.
I understand @amestoplease should get the credit for this 2nd design. I might still think of it as the Draf-nado for me, as it finally dawned on me how good it is by seeing Draf's depiction. Heretofore though, I will refer to this design as the Cynado (unless amestoplease says otherwise). I think it is different enough that it deserves a special name to distinguish it from other versions of the Cyclone/tornado.
I'm still hopeful this version will get a second look as a secondary logo for us. I understand it's been tried already, but the time may be better now? tn

I too would prefer gold separating the segments of the Cynado on the white helmet. Draf would it be too hard to give us a pic of that? White helmet, gold between segments, darker red facemask. One with stripe and one without. One with white facemask, one red. Thx if you can!
At some point I'd like to send this and maybe some other uni ideas (not fully completed yet though) to higher ups for consideration/ re-consideration. Not sure how best to do that but that's another story.

Away, Mod 4, new gold (not quite as dark as our 70's gold, still using current yel/gold accent), lighter shade of cardinal, new stripes (and two cardinal pant stripe choices), two collar choices.
and w/Cynado next pic, white helmet
Would like to see Cynado atleast 1x/year on helmet. If not that use for award stickers on helmet. Cynado not meant to replace I-STATE.

I can maybe do that sometime, yes.
There is an interesting interview about this updated 80s Cyclone design. You should check it out.
Ep 33: EMERGENCY POD - the story of how the Johnny Orr 'Orrnado' logo was killed... for this?! — The Moonlight Graham Show
Brendan Gargano is a professional Graphic Designer, Iowa State grad, and Cyclone superfan who updated the classic Johnny Orr "Orrnado" design two years ago and even pitched it to Athletic Director Jamie Pollard. He, along with many others, had noticed the need for ISU to have a secondary m

Wrongly calling it an Orrnado was reason enough IMO for JP to kill the idea let alone its association with a bad era of ISU FB and not being a significant upgrade over what was used in the Texas game.
It's too bad you don't like it. I think it's awesome. Of course, it isn't wrong at all to have differing opinions on the design. Go Cyclones!
I'm still a little confused about these three pics. The first two are amestoplease designs (@amestoplease), and what might have became known as the Ornado. The 3rd is Draf's depiction of that design.
In Draf's depiction the slant of the Cynado is a little more pronounced. I think that is notable and a good difference. It also seems thicker, for sure over pic one here.
So whether or not amestoplease had a 2nd go at it in pic 2, vs. pic 1 above, I don't know.
What I do know is that in the Draf depiction (3rd pic), it becomes very clear that the image has been altered vs. pic 1, in a good way.
This 3rd pic, with or without the single-tone or two-tone affect (I like both), should be reconsidered for a secondary logo, IMO. It also should not be called the Ornado because that was already tried. Make it a little different, call it the Cynado and take another swing. tn

These
are hugely significant upgrades over what was used in the Texas game. The staff partly realized it after enduring the fan outcry against the upside-down imoge.That is why we haven't seen that aberration since. Well we did see it as helmet stickers that year and maybe the year after.
Perhaps the staff, slow minded as they sometimes are, will further realize there is something already designed, the Cynado, and reconsider it? The majority of fans want it or would embrace it. It makes more than enough sense to be one of our secondary logos.
