I don't get the hate that comes from a lot of State fans regarding the MState logo.
For me at least, the fact that we literally copied the graphic from Marshall ( I heard we even asked their SID for information on the graphic) and made the Mstate logo is a big reason to hate it. Then the university forcing the copied logo onto everything. Just a sign of laziness to copy from another school and then mass market it as your own. Every time I see the Mstate it reminds me of a reflection of laziness and lack of creativity at the time. Thank goodness Polk or whoever on the baseball side of things balked at allowing it on the baseball uniforms, even though there was a season or so where the university tried it.
The Flying M at least derived from the academic side of the university and has history and meaning. Allows the conversation of the logo to involve MSU academics and involvement in the space program.
The Flying M is unique as a logo, whereas the Mstate is a graphic type seen by a few other schools also. Iowa State, Marshall come to mind quickly.
