So not to burst any bubbles but is the revamping of the logo even being discussed among the powers that be or is this just wintertime folly? I really like the designs presented alot and the voting is all well and fine, but is MSU Athletics interested in changing the logo to something new and if so, will they consider the opinions of Bobcat Nation bloggers? Just wondering. I think Old Skool Cat did an awesome job though!

Can you make a image of the "M" w/ the "state" script but with out the curves. Maybe do a couple variations. Just would like to see how they look.

Haha cat_stache, nice. But seriously, with the effort Old Skool put in, what would it take to submit/suggest something new and exciting? Change can be good and riding on last year's success, the new stadium, etc., might be time for a new marketing campaign.

No problem! I am away from my graphics computer right now, but I will work on that. I have thought that might be a good combination myself.

For comparison sake, here's some logos from other state school that incorporate the "State" and the letter:

Ohio State:

Oklahoma State

Iowa State

Mississippi State

One logo I have always liked was Memphis'. It incorporates an "M" very similar to ours but also includes the mascot.

This is the one that they have put on the signs distributed to businesses around town that I really like, similar to what you are saying about slight modifications to accentuate the features. I like it because it gives it a little more depth and accentuates as you say but still stays simple (only a three color logo still). Note this is just me making the standard logo look like the one on the sign in my office so it's not perfect. And I added the white to the eye.

Or this!

Very nice kmax, I like it alot! The white would also give some definition on a helmet.

Even after all these ideas, I still think that the 'Cats in script captures the classic look while maintaining a unique image that MSU needs to get back to.

I could care less that the griz are using it right now. We all know that we had it first, and that they copied our idea.

What would be even better is to have Away helmets that would be dark blue with the script in gold. SIIICK!

Well, it makes everyone think we are Michigan (especially when the M has yellow in it) ... at least that's been the reaction from 99% of the people who comment when I wear my gear.

I like the cat head the best, personally.

No way! Not in SanFran. I don't believe you.

I bet if you took a "real" poll, more than 100 people would know that's not Michigan.

I could have sworn we already... wait a minute... it's coming to me.... oh yeah, now I remember. We already have 111 posts on this subject.

BUMP!

The cat head looks like Washington States step child had a kid.

Maybe I'm old school but I like the script CATS but overlayed on the M looks good as well.

What about the Old old school logo that used to be on the rubber basketball court at the brick with the actual Bobcat head?

So this thread wasn't offseason boredom, it was Bobcat Nation being ahead of their time once again.

I stand by my original design of the accented Cat Head! Very nice indeed.
