Ehh, tornados come in different shapes, sizes, orientation depending on strength and vertical wind profile. They can even rotate clockwise instead of counterclockwise in rare instances.

Any of these...
Still like the 1980's one the best. Maybe they could change the Iowa State to the I State if they want to use that.
Maybe that’s the plan, keep everyone focused on uniform and logo changes rather than what’s actually happening on the field and with the program. I am also too old school and about to the point where it doesn’t matter what they do. One more embarrassing idea doesn’t matter
I have been using these bad boys as desktop wallpapers/phone backgrounds/fantasy team logos/you-name-it since whenever you first posted them. So clean.

On the bright side, I guess it's marginally better than these:
I think the main issue with me is that the outline is too clean. It's a freaking tornado... it should have jagged edges and look more menacing.
Unfortunately those are both better.On the bright side, I guess it's marginally better than these:
Those 2 logos need to be ditched too. Those suck.
i don't mind the attempt at it. as others have said, it looks bad on a red helmet. we should not have a red logo on a red helmet no matter what the decal is.
I suspect this logo will look good on white and grey (or gold) helmets. it's the first draft guys, they can use this as a base design to incorporate an entire helmet design using this logo which might look pretty neat.
what might be neat is whirly stripes on the helmet to look like bands in a tornado - kind of the like the bengals but better... if that makes sense?

As a young ISU Alum and professional graphic designer who has worked for multiple Big 12 athletic departments, this logo is absolutely awful. Very poorly designed. Very little character. No tie to old or current logos; just a turd of a logo. It lacks a unique shape and lacks depth. I agree that trying new things is great for recruiting and I love uniforms, helmets, etc; but when building brand unity and brand continuity, you don't just throw out a new secondary logo that hasn't been market tested. Very poor move in my professional opinion.
It is just kind of blocky and "blah."
Nothing about the shape screams tornado.
The colors hidden inside of it do not giveth enough contrast.
It just looks like a blob with a yellow outline.
A) why are we outsourcing a design, we have a college of design. It's pretty simple: It's like my marketing department at work. I toss the responsibility to the youngest hippest coolest employee. In this case, tell the College of Design to find their best student, interview them to to see if they can socially survive outside of a textbook. Tell them to make it look cool, give them 3 days to work on it. Have department head check in from time to time to see if they need any guidance.
B) My 13 year old pointed this out last night. In an end all mascot war it is fairly certain the Cyclones would match up with the Hurricanes in the national championship. Should we not have the most fierce terrifying unbelievably intimidating logo in the history of college sports?

i'm still wondering why the stripe order on our jerseys and pants don't match...
red-yellow-red and then yellow-red-yellow.
argh!

argh!
That pisses me off so much. OCD a little about uniform element consistency.
Besides an obvious poop emoji, does anyone see a cartoon ham?
I thought Tom and Jerry were going to start fighting over the logo.

I like the idea of the tornado logo but this one just looks like a cartoon or something on a little kids toy. My hope is it looks better on a different colored helmet. So is this going to be a permanent deal? Like its the official secondary logo? I wouldn't expect items to sell much with this logo on it. It'd go right in the pile of the navy blue debacle we tried in the late 90's and then lit on fire.
I don't find logo discussions trite. My questions are more behind the philosophy of this move, rather than about the logo itself. Why is this being done now? How is this helping ISU's football identity? To me, nothing in the timing of the reveal or the logo itself are going to do anything positive for ISU's identity. Perhaps this is not the right place for that discussion.
Great. Now I have to spend the rest of the afternoon watching Homestar Runner cartoons. GD....
