And many publications, from Sports Illustrated to Barstool, now consider it one of the top ten logos in college football. Most recently Yahoo Sports named ours in the Top Ten best college football helmets (check out #1, ‘Nole fans):

Bill Snyder did the same thing when he left Iowa for KSU. He had the logo redesigned to the current Powercat. The same guy that created the Tiger Hawk also drew the Powercat. Not sure if there are any hidden messages in that logo.
So Hayden told the artist (Bill Colbert) that he wanted a subliminal "F-R-Y" embedded in the logo? I dunno about that.Look at the figure…with a little imagination (not much really) it’s pretty obvious….today when I see it, the first thing I see is “fry”..Hayden didn’t do nothing without a purpose. Sublineal messaging included..
This has been known and accepted for many decades, not new if you’ve been around for any length of time.
Fake NewsContains a lower case “i”? I was 40:
Why do you believe that was intentional?For those who need help…
For the same reason Fry had the visitor’s locker room painted pink…The guy was a psych major…There was always much more to him than what met the eye. Remember how he would “go off” on (certain) reporters at pressers “over nothing”?
Wazoo’s logo is the same type… and didn’t southern Mississippi do the same… and didn’t UIowa complain about them infringing?
Yes, and Southern Mississippi changed their logo under pressure from the U of I. The Hamilton HS Hawkeyes in Michigan (AJ Ediger’s old school) had to change away from the Tigerhawk as well. They made it more cartoon like and worked a hidden “H” into the crest atop the head to avoid a cease and desist:
Remember a couple of years ago UWisconsin threatened Waukee (Ia.) HS with a lawsuit for infringing on their “rolling W” (copyrighted) without their permission. I believe Waukee acquiesced.Yes, and Southern Mississippi changed their logo under pressure from the U of I. The Hamilton HS Hawkeyes in Michigan (AJ Ediger’s old school) had to change away from the Tigerhawk as well.

My in-laws gifted me a crack-hawk stone for our front step. I made the mistake of not being appreciative since it was the crack hawk and lost points with the wife.
Pella had to change their logo a few years ago as well as it was the same font as Purdue.
I see the beak as the “r”… and understanding it’s a subliminal message it is never supposed to be obvious at all. Of course, it is a stretch…it’s good conversation abd it has to do with the Hawks….the logo does exactly what Hayden hopes it would do! And that is the genius of John Hayden Fry.
The two parts of the beak is the y. Cover up the other pieces with your hand and rotate so the beak is pointing down.
