Cyclones Wordmark Logo
The Iowa State Cyclones wordmark logo has been a symbol of pride and tradition since its inception in the late 1800s. The original design featured an interlocking “IS” with a small cardinal perched atop it, which was meant to represent strength and power. Since then, the logo has gone through several iterations over time to reflect changing trends in collegiate sports branding.
In 1996, Iowa State adopted its current wordmark logo featuring two bold block letters “I” and “S” stacked on top of each other with an angular tail extending from the bottom right corner of the letter S to create more depth within the overall design. This modernized version still retains elements from previous versions such as its distinct shape but also incorporates new features that make it stand out among other college logos at that time period including vibrant colors like cardinal red and gold along with white accents for the contrast between them both.
Today, this iconic mark continues to be seen proudly displayed by fans across campus during game days or even just around town throughout everyday life - serving not only as a reminder of past successes but also providing hope for future generations who will continue carrying on traditions started years ago when this now-iconic symbol first came into existence all those decades ago!
