The walking Cy logo might be more inferior than a pizza cutter.Well hell you don't understand the greatness of Pizza cutters, how can we expect you to understand the greatness of walking Cy.
What logo would you vote for now?

I've been getting some sh*t for this, but how can anyone dislike this logo (Bird in a Blender)?
To me, it sums our history perfectly as formerly the Cardinals and then the Cyclones.
Though the "Iowa State Above a Tornado" is a close second (Is that the "Orrnado"?).
I personally have always disliked the "I-State" logo we have had since 2008, as I think it's boring as f***, but I understand Pollard's reasoning for wanting to keep things "simple" for branding purposes.

That was the logo when I was in school and I had a LOT of gear with that logo. I still don’t like it and glad they went with the I-State. When I was back in Iowa recently my mom handed me an old Iowa state hat of mine with that logo that she asked if I wanted to take home. I said, no, you can toss it. That’s how much I don’t like that logo even though it was the one in place for my entire time at ISU.
I'm not a fan of the "I-State". Do people call is "I-State"? Seems like it was an attempt to change what we are called, but that is me.
FWIW, the old Iowa State "cyclone" logo should be attributed to Jim Criner, not Johnny Orr IMO. The department did a rebranding for football when Criner was hired. the logo didn't get to many of the other teams until years later including MBB. Shoot, the 84-85 MBB team was still using a logo from the Donnie Duncan era.
I like this one, and it would be even better if they dropped the color blue from it. Only use Cardinal, gold, black & white.
I’ll never understand the boners people get on that cartoon and those stupid shoes Cy is wearing
I would love to see, at least as an alternate. We just need more fun alternates in general. We've got the I-State as a brand, now let's have fun with some other designs already!
I may be a bit irrational about it, but I banned my dad from entering our house with that on his hat and sweatshirt a few years ago (they come over every weekend). I bought him new ones and said if you want to see your grandkids, you'll kill Blender Cy.
Visceral hatred for the blue **** toilet swirling Cy logo.
But everybody's entitled to an opinion (even if your's sucks ass).
It’s from the era when they fell in love with isu. It’s kind of like why youre a Barry Manilow fan
The blue ruined it. Otherwise I'd be all for it. No ******* blue!!
Why in the @### did ISU put blue in their color scheme? Who's idea was that anyway?
They were probably stock logos at the time, that were modified for each team.Just curious, who stole from whom? Does anyone know the timing?

I’m going to reply to my own post. Only because someone else said something about blue being introduced. The hat from above, was f’ing blue with the s$itty logo. Why the hell would I still want that and why the hell did I spend money on that in the first place??
I love Whirly Cy, Blender Bird, whatever it's called - agreed, it's a great mixture of the two "mascots"
I think they should have a few animations to use online & on the video boards of a modern version "walking Cy" (there's a great one floating around on this very forum) turning into "Whirly Cy", like he gets mad or he's running really fast & his lower body/legs turn into the Cyclone
Kinda cheesy, but the kids would eat it up & it sorta gives relevance to both Cy-styles
Whirly Cy should def be on the helmet - he's facing forward with implied forward motion, fist out front, that bird is about to go into battle
This logo and like Washington State, someone make "I S U" in the form of this logo and it would be legendary
I also like this logo. I don't even mind the navy blue in it because it gives it more of a thuderstormy feel. I think the Orrnado artistically looks like something from the 70s as well as being associated with a bad period in Iowa State football. I-State has a good visual punch and is recognized around the country. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
