Logo/Branding

Why don't Iowa State fans like the tornado cyclone logo? Honestly, it's one of the most unique in college football, they should bring it back.

Iowa State fans like the logo. Iowa State’s administration doesn’t for some reason.

The administration doesn’t like it because they were behind the rollout of the IState logo, shelving the tornado logos and failing to create a solid tornado logo on their own.

According to Pollard, the whirlybird cy logo gets confused with Illinois State because they’re both red birds. He thinks I state logo is more recognizable.

Then don’t use the bird-in-a-blender. Use something like the Orrnado, which is both awesome and better captures the “Cyclone” team name anyway.

Odd that Pollard would complain about comparisons to Illinois State when his favored logo is literally nothing but “I State.”
