Title: Powercat II
Post by: CHONGS on April 12, 2016, 02:36:56 PM
I don't know about you, but I am pretty excited about Powercat II.  While I am sure the redesign is in excellent hands at Kansas State University, what are your dream logos?  What would you wear on a hat?  What could be turned in to a train that smashes into another mascot that will get your purple passion flowing?

i run in a few circles where discussions of powercat 2 have come up.  the only thing i can get out of anyone in the know is that currie is spearheading the development of powercat 2 and that he's totally ruled out any possibility that powercat 1 will be around beyond 2017.  apparently he hates the powercat as much as most of us do.

Why would you want to mess with a logo that has become very recognizable and associated with good qualities?

Post by: pissclams on April 12, 2016, 03:09:41 PM
100% can confirm that powercat 1 in its entirety is done and buried <--insidery info

if i were to guess, powercat 2 will be rendered in 3 dimensions rather than our flat/shitty current iteration.  someone told me that currie's goal is to bring our school symbol more in line with current times which will help to market it more to millennials

if you really stop and think about it, powercat 1 is about 30 years old, which is hilariously ancient

Yes, like this, but you don't see the powercatII until you stare at it for 30 seconds.

Opposition: Oh hey, look! We are playing the KSU Jungles or something!

...30 seconds later....

OH CRAP! It's the KSU JUNGLECATS!

Cool Cat. his thing is he's a bachelor that lives at the stadium. it's like his mancatcave. funny jokes about his tv getting busted by bevo and then he comes out and straightens him out. stuff like that. lots of laughs but clean because the jokes that include his stash of sexy mags are like cats who are covered in fur so it's still PG but the adults will know the deal. cool cat pretty much runs the show. hangover before the game so he's late and comes busting out in his robe and junk. I can go on for days with the storylines for this guy.

Wasn't going to mention this but K-State Athletics Inc had a marketing and branding engagement out to bid and awarded 4 or 5 months ago.   

So this thing has set sail, don't know who they picked for the work but heard it was not a Midwestern firm, and possibly a non US based entity.

We need to stick with tradition. Let the usc's and michigans and alabamas keep reinventing themselves since their traditions are horrible crap. Our brand has been market tested and succeeds in every metric. It's between us and byu or texas or i guess notre dame for the most hard-core brand tradition.

And what are on phones?

Emojis.

The new logo must be something that these youngsters can relate to, if not we are missing the boat.

There need to be a few hurdles that each new design should pass and I don't think I am alone when I say that probably the most important of those hurdles is that it has to look rad as a lower back tattoo on the ladies.
