Stupid logo hate thread

I still can't believe this logo. Someone needs to come forward and explain themselves. Even if people say it is good, I think it is because they are trying to be nice. Deep inside they know this logo sucks. I like to think I have good instincts on this type of thing. I would say 1 out 10 people like this and only kids under 11 would think it is cool.
They are decals...helmets are the same, red or white. Decals are cheap.
I read a lot of this thread. You care. No one else does.
The whole ISU uniform looked like something my 5 year old niece would drag out of her closet for Sunday Mass. I don't get it. So why would you?
ISU needs winning football (killed my pool, guys) like that one last night more than a new logo or identity, whatever that's suppose to mean.
But in reality no one outside of ISU fans give a hoot nor will they remember the down-the-drain logo. I assume it will never be used again, given all the flagellation here.

Haha that Monte photoshop should be game over for anyone defending this logo. How embarrassing.
Also, I don't think people are thinking about how this logo would look on a basketball jersey. I think it will look even worse on a basketball jersey than on the football helmet.
Whenever debacles like this happen I wonder how no one, at any level, said "yah these suck." Like seriously, everyone involved in rolling out this thought they looked good? At no point did the consider rolling it out to a small group of disinterested people or something?
If we're gonna suck, and it's clearly out of our control as no one puts butts in seats to watch garbage (sorry defense, not you) like ISU...then we might as well look good. Can't even do that right.
I fail to see how this is a relevant point. You're right. We do care. And you do too, I guess.
The most tired argument is "who cares about the logo, win games" as if our coaches and players are in the design room. Why can't we have a cool logo and win games? Why can't we have a cool logo and lose games? How are they related?
This isn't about creating a culture through a logo. It's about a multi-million dollar entity unable to produce something that looks like it cost more than $20 of work.
Is it possible that the marketing people said let's roll it out and test it in real time, thereby eliminating expensive research and testing? Have we underestimated their marketing savvy? I'm told this is also getting serious response on the Hawkeye sites, so we'll be able to analyze those results as well.
And this is further proof we are indeed an ag &engineering school where jokes need to be explained...
If this is the case, and the marketing folks are reading this board, let me make my stance very clear:
THIS LOGO SUCKS PLEASE STICK WITH THE OLD CYCLONE.
There that should do it.
I seriously wonder how much money has been invested in this logo.
Were any focus groups used? If so, I'd like to see some of their comments.
Then to roll it out in a game where the team did not need any distractions is just stupid. If they need some extra juice, do it before some other game. Like the basketball pre-season intro thing.
Buy wow, the logo is bad.
