Counting down
5 - Did someone only have 3 minutes to make a logo? Nothing about it is distinctive for BYU or visually appealing. It also seems oddly asymmetrical to me, as if the designer did not intend for the asymmetry but lacked the skill to make it symmetrical. Although, the more I look at it, the more I am unsure about whether it is symmetrical... It's unnerving.

4 - Twelve-year-old me would have loved this overly-convoluted logo. Older me believes it to be a jumbled mess.

8 - Hey, look! 1984 BYU is so high-tech with a MacIntosh computer, complete with a paint program.

7 - Hey, look! 1994 BYU is so edgy with a super-fast flying cougar head and a misshapen Y that makes no logical sense in the context of the rest of the image. The logo also calls back the dark memory of when Cosmo was decapitated while performing a stunt at a BYU football game.

3 - This is the point on the list where the logos become arguably good. This logo is visually striking. It is just generic, and the cougar looks more hemorrhoidal than intimidating.

9 - It's crisp, visually striking, and memorable. It loses points for being similar but inferior to #2 and for the fact that the cougar looks like it is trying to leave the Y... probably honor code issues...

1 - Easily the coolest looking logo, but it really is more a picture than a logo.

2 - This one looks awesome and is associated with BYU's glory days. It would top the list but for the strange interaction between the cougar and the "U." Is the cougar vomiting the U? Is he trying but failing to eat it? Maybe, he's sucking on it.

6 - Simple. Sharp. Iconic.
