I do like the older logo but I would take the Iowa State off of it and you then have a really cool simple classic logo. In marketing the simpler the better. It would look great in gold on their red helmets. I know they have a bird logo too and the new logo was an attempt to merge the two, but the bird is for the fans. Everyone else knows them as the cyclones. I wonder how often they have to explain what their logo is or where the bird came from. I don’t like the modern cartoon.

I remember many years ago when it was announced that the Nordiques would move to Denver and their name would change, the Denver Post got a supposedly unauthorized leak that the leading candidate for the new team name was "Extreme" and the color scheme was going to be yellow and black with a logo inspired by road signs. The reaction was appropriately horrified and it wasn't much later that the name Avalanche was announced. Could the “leak” of the Buffalo logo be a ploy by the team to test the waters?

There was another Logo Card floating around with the one shown here but on actual jerseys. That one showed jerseys with CCM Logos and the B with the sabre through it was reversed on one of the shoulders. Really amateur stuff. Also, the jersey used was one of the other fakes that was drifting around a year or two ago. That isn’t the new sabres Logo.

They had a chance to go with a classic Dodger-esque look when they changed the insignia a few years ago, but no, we have to have a Devil Rays redux. As if the Raptors arent bad enough. Jack H. said:

My goodness the Gil Perrault, French Connection line, Danny Gare jerseys since their 1972 expansion season were gorgeous. This is what they came up with? Dreadful. This is as bad, okay worse than the new Anaheim Ducks and that is not an easy logo/identity to out "worse"... Todd Radom, Gameplan Creative, the Creamer guys, somebody is out here and can help you NHL...you just have to take the blindfolds off when you're making your decisions. T. http://www.buffalone...

I'm attending Iowa State in the fall, and let me first say that none of you have even talked about the primary cyclone logo.

As far as the colors, navy blue sucks, changing colors sucks. Stick with the cardinal, and the gold, keep beating up on the hawks, and go back to the WALKING CY LOGO!!!! As for the football jerseys, don't put the walking cy on the jerseys. Just do what KU, and UK, and others do. Make a nifty little ISU letter logo, and slap it on there.

The official logo is the Iowa State "Cyclones." It is so misleading to see a cartoon bird incorprated in the present logo, it is not the Iowa State "Cardinals." I think that if Josh wants to help recreate the logo, what not a better person for the job. Here is someone who has lived and breathed the ISU culture since he is an alumni, and someone who obviously cares. I beleive that the ISU logo is definitely in need of help.
