You can thank El Chupe Nibre for the design, and him having to endure me tweaking it for several hours while his wife waited in his bed naked for him.
BTW: Trademark paperwork already sent in. That's a badass logo.

I was referring to the logo.

OK, that was the last minute thing.

no problem.
this new black one kicks its ass.

Outstanding improvement. The only criticism I can come up with is that the ribbons of smoke end somewhat abruptly at either edge. A smoother transition to black might look a bit nicer.

You may need to up the front one to more kick ass.. now that I look at them side by side, I'm thinking we should probably stick with the black logo with purple etching.

Have you looked at doing all caps with the "ans" part of KSUFans? Most probably wont notice, but everything else is in caps. It may be something worth looking at.

Chupa and I went over many different designs. I had asked him to make a logo for the site a few days ago on anticipation (and rightly so) that the University might have an issue with us using the Powercat if the site became more business oriented. The original logo he made is on the website home page (http://www.ksufans.com). The font we're using now, and the lettering we toyed with for several hours. It's been submitted for trademark already because I think we've got our brand.
During those adjustments, we had a banner originally that was on the front and was quite busy - fans, the coaches, the Powercat, the name, etc.. and when I decided to put his new logo design in, it didn't look right. He originally did the design and I changed it, knowing that the powercat would be prominent within the banner and being the good sport he is, understood what I wanted to achieve. However, this new logo would not look the same simply by replacing the powercat with what I now call the KSUFans PowerOrb, and so after thinking about it, I decided to have it re-done. I told him I wanted it simple, elegant, and he came up with what we have now (after a few adjustments.)
My decision in removing the images of Prince and Martin from the banner also falls in line with the property of KSU and our ability to market it. KSU requires that we obtain a license for commercial use of the logo, including likenesses of Prince, Martin, or other KSU personalities. I'd have no problem paying the fees, but the bureaucracy is pretty extensive and the cost of managing the paybacks to the University for their property could get hairy. I want to focus on where we can go with the website and not worry about dealing with some of the more "protective" members of the administration. Don't get me wrong. I firmly believe in KSU having the right to protect their property, after all, it's in the school's financial interest to do so. With that, by having our own "brand", we have a little more leeway in building our own identity.
At some point, we have to make the process final, and I think we chose a good design. We could spend hours tweaking, but we needed something so we can start the next phase of the website.

So when do we get premium?
-
you wouldn't happen to have a large resolution image of just the ball/s would you? would make a kickin wallpaper.

Everyone does that. Someone in the office sends you an email, a lot of the time they turn around and say, hey, I sent you an email. Not sure why. Just so they know you won't ignore them I guess.

Can I buy stock in KSUFans?

Terrific work, as always.

All caps and no spaces. KSU (Myriad Pro Semibold Condensed) FANS (Light Condensed) ???? :blindfold:
Or use Crillee?
Both are fonts associated with K-State sports... and you wouldn't be breaking any copyright laws.
-
Though it's getting slightly overdone by businesses nowadays, I do like the look of using bold and condensed/normal font with no spaces to separate two words.
