It is totally the main full color logo. Is everyone here colorblind??

I agree. Full-color ties in better to the cardinal jersey and numeral colors.
Red-stencil on black helmet would come in handy for something like Black-White-Cardinal.
Specifically, it is the "chrome" full color logo from the white helmets, correct? Since we have four stickers, two full color (based on last picture below and tweet video):
1- gold stencil (so no shading) on I for chrome cardinal,
2- flat gold with shaded-I for white (and now black)
3- shaded/beveled yellow/gold w/ shaded-I for flat cardinal
4- white stencil for black
again, note here it looks like the sticker for the chrome-cardinal helmet is a gold stencil. Also no red stencil like '17 vs Akron:
When are they going to slap round AHF stickers on the helmets? Wouldn't that just upset the clowns at TOE.
In all seriousness, how bout a #FarmStrong sticker or emblem somewhere? Unlike the pre-high def television days, it's easier to see the details on uniforms. People will actually understand what that means. Do you think anyone outside this state really knows or cares what ANF means?
These are all outlined in the ISU style guide:

According to they guide these logos are:
1- "3 color chrome" - gold stencil (so no shading) on I for chrome cardinal,
2- "2 color chrome" - flat gold with shaded-I for white (and now black)
3- "4 color" - shaded/beveled yellow/gold w/ shaded-I for flat cardinal
4- "1 color (reversed)" - white stencil for black
Personally, I would like to see the university move away from the 3 and 4 color logos, because I am not a fan of the bevels, and having the extra shades of cardinal and gold don't help for building a consistent brand identity.
Hey! No upside down poop emoji in that ISU graphics pdf. Now if they'd just get rid of the "Wisconsin Bucky" Cy!
Yea really need to stop shading cardinal with another shade of cardinal. How about using an actual shade like black? Old walking Cy everyone loves has black in it. I copy and pasted to paint and did one click and thought it already looks better...kinda, obviously not a pro here:
I also don't prefer the bevels, the bevels and excessive shading remind me of all of the "updated" minor league baseball/etc logos. Flat is better sometimes, I think.
We should probably check ourselves before we this against the bevels however: http://nobevel.com/ (Texas A&M, obviously)
Now I'd like to see that helmet (color logo) on the all-blacks with color accessories. Gloves, socks, etc.
Nice try, but the only way to improve that involves copious amounts of C4.Yea really need to stop shading cardinal with another shade of cardinal. How about using an actual shade like black?
