LSU should just stick with L.S.U. in the Geaux font as its main logo. No one can look at it and be confused as to what it is. It is what UCLA, Oklahoma, TCU and other other schools have done...

Changing the logo is about generating more revenue. If people increased purchases of licensed merchandise at a higher rate for the old logo versus the new one, the logo would never change.

The fact is that when logos change, revenues go up. Don't blame the school administrators. Blame the consumers who respond to new visualizations.

I think its an excellent question.
I assume "by standing the test of time" you mean similar to logos like Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, etc.

Why? Because LSU can't do anything normal like any other school. Guess its just the Louisiana culture...but that said....we do have one that was standing the test of time until someone wanted to get cute in the 80's.....the lettering and the Tiger head currently on the football helmets is as close to a "standing the test of time" logo that LSU has ever had.

And it seems EVERYONE prefers that Tiger over Toonces.

I think the eye is a sweet logo. But I am going to do a shirt with something like this.



I thought I saw one with the cannons but can't find it online now.

Good grief, we whine more about the logo than about Gary Crowton.

Nothing wrong w/ the Tiger face on the football helmet, sure beats the hell out of Toonces and that drugged-out apathetic looking Tiger that is currently on the logo.

Like the one on the helmet? Believe it or not people like toonces (not me) and as a marketing perspective it's smart to cover all walks of life. You ever see a affliction type lsu hat and wonder "who the hell would buy this?" They do...

We should have one based off of the tiger statues. They're badass looking enough, just add some color to it and they'll be sick.

Someone made something like this on here but I don't know the first place to look.

Blame it on the idiot who dreamed up Toonces.
