Campaign for Cyclones Secondary logo and new outlook

[Draf]

I like that- add the tornado and change the bird to old school Walking Cy, and I'm thrilled.

I imagine the current walking Cy's head may work in the old walking style (combining both eras together). The old walking Cy is way better/more iconic to ISU.

I was thinking this one for Cy.

Yes, I agree. This one is the best walking Cy design there is.

Could just be me, but I much prefer the old tornado logo to this one. This one reminds me of a cornucopia standing on end.

THIS. It kinda looks like a mountain crossed with a wave. And a little poop emoji . . .

Yes, I agree it is terrible.

"So it is a 'tornado' from a god's eye view with a Cy lying down inside? Oh, I see, I guess..."

This logo MUST go. It struggles.

The "80's Tornado logo" needs to come back and "Walking Cy" should be the "mascot" logo. Some modern things can be added to both like in the illustrations mentioned in this thread. I would also say just add the I-State logo to Walking Cy's chest too. Heck, Leaning Cy's chest should have the I-State logo on it too.

The I-State logo is so awesome. It's traditional looking and very recognizable. It should be the main mark forever. Even our Big 12 brethren down here in KC agree, it's the best logo ISU has ever had and fits in well with other Big 12 logos.

How do you like this new walking Cy idea?

 

[IASTATE07]

I actually like that. The "I" looks a little off to me though.

That "I" and Cy's left foot were the toughest part of this design. The "I" bothers me as well, but I thought I'd post anyway.
Planning on adjusting it sometime soon.

How do you like this new walking Cy idea?

I like it. I am personally a big fan of the cleaned up whirly bird logo. Would look good on the white helmet.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I could get used to that. Nice work.

How do you like this new walking Cy idea?

I think I could get behind this being used some if they updated it like this. I've always been an opponent of walking Cy being brought back because it oozes 70's/80's.

It definitely would be tough. Good work so far.

Updated "I" in this version.

I was thinking this one for Cy.

This is the first time I've noticed Cy's arms and feet are out of sync. He has his left arm (wing?) going forward the same time as his left leg.

I'm pretty sure that's how birds walk. At least ones with shoes on anyway.

Two sample helmets using the hybrid walking/whirly Cy.

Ignore the blue dots; I wanted a screen shot close-up of the helmets, and it's in Teambuilder's edit mode, not simple to remove.
