looks like a thong. There I said itit could have been different
Why google tornado? I googled "cyclone" and came up with this. Change the colors to Cardinal and Gold and this beats the hell out of the Criner Tornado and is an upgrade of the new new secondary logo.A quick google search of tornado shelter symbols and I found this right away. Even it's a mono-color improvement over the bugle/poop logo.

I had this doubt initially whether a tornado is cyclone. I feel that sticking with historical perspective makes better sense.Because our "Cyclone" is the historical cyclone which is a tornado. The current meteorological terminology is much more recent.
yeah back in the early 1900s the Midwest would call tornadoes cyclones. Nowadays cyclones refers to a large scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure. In water this causes a hurricane and on land (mesocyclones) it can cause tornadoes.Because our "Cyclone" is the historical cyclone which is a tornado. The current meteorological terminology is much more recent.
This is a week old now, but I took my time returning.
I went to Norman for the game against Oklahoma (it was awesome by the way).
The Friday before the game I had scheduled myself a tour of the National Weather Center since it's in Norman and I like science. My tour was led by a very nice senior from Oklahoma studying meteorology. She showed us all sorts of cool things and neat aspects of the process of generating forecasts as well as being a student studying meteorology at OU (we had some prospective students in our group).
She kept letting us know that she welcomed any questions we had, but very few were asked. At one point, we were waiting for an elevator and she kind of joked that she felt bad since no one was asking questions. I said, "Are stupid questions ok, because I have a couple of those" and she responded that she could answer just about anything. So I asked if she was familiar with the new Iowa State secondary cyclone / tornado logo. She replied that she hadn't seen it, so I found a picture on my phone and showed her. She simply stared at it silently for what was probably less time than it seemed. Finally another person in the group asked, "Did it make you speachless?"
She handed me back my phone and simply said, "What's really sad is I'm pretty sure Iowa State has a meteorology department too."
Later on, toward the end of the tour, I asked her about the Sharknado movies, so she thinks I'm an idiot anyways.

That was a big 8 thing. Every school in the big 8 made their logo state letter - U.Did you ask her why their logo is O-U if they are the U-of-OK, not O-University.
The new logo seems like something a freshman in design would come up with the morning before the project is due.Recently realized that the new logo is essentially just a ripoff of the popular Twitter emoji. Here I've flipped it horizontally:

Lame.

Oh me so cyclones! Oh oh me so cyclones!

This is basically the background for our current head-logo, which I think could have been built upon for a real twister-logo.
