Who thinks the old tiger logo is better than the new tiger

I think the old tiger logo is awesome and I think its dumb we gave some corporate guy money to design the new tiger. It should have been done by an lsu student maybe its just me.

I think this move to use comic artwork or toomces instead of real looking tigers should have never taken place. We better Artist than that were actual LSU Football players and one of them is contemplating leaving Louisiana because his work is not welcomed here any longer. He painted the original Tiger bursting out of Tiger Stadium back in 1982 after LSU beat Alabama and the Bear 20-10.
His Name Don McCorkle. He has since updated that picture in last couple of months and the owner of Raising Caines Fried Chicken has purchased his latest work.
Instead using our own LSU football players LSU had rather use comic strip artist insted of good real artwork with real looking tigers.
I talked with him the other day and he is tired of trying get his work excepted by LSU and moving to Tenn. I asked him if he would change his mind and he said no.
This is one time I was and am aginst Bertman. He was the one that started it and he is the one that convinced TAF on this crap.

I prefer ANY of the old school Tigers: the helmet logo, the '30s style pouncing tiger and the tiger with the hat. Toonces sucks!

LSU didnt get the new logo thinking it would look better, they got the new logo for mass marketing purposes...the logo is less intricate and much easier to mass produce on flags and banners, etc
surely you must know by now its all about $$$

A few thoughts:
1. It would have been nice for LSU to use a graphics artist or a graphics company with an LSU connection. Or, at least a Louisiana connection.
2. An earlier poster suggested we should use an LSU student to do it. While there are many talented LSU art and graphic design students, this is entirely inappropriate for a professional logo design. BAD IDEA.
3. The poster before me has it right. This is about mass marketing and use of the logo on a WIDE variety of products. You see, you can't use just "one" logo. You need a whole suite of logos that are similar. In LSU's case, there's a Toonces logo, a floating head logo, a jumping Tiger logo, specific fonts, etc. It's versatile for layout. That's its strength. Old logo? It's just a Tiger head. That's all we got.
4. The only university I can think of off-hand that uses only one logo successfully for pretty much everything is Texas, and no matter how you slice it, it's a one-color logo. Easy to use, easy to reproduce. Old LSU logo? It's very intricate. It needs to be simpler.
5. The thing that irritates me most of all about the "new" logo is that the company we used has created almost identical logos for about a dozen other universities. I don't like that we got the plug-into-package treatment.
6. Don't get me wrong. I like the old logo just fine. But I don't really understand the sentimentality toward it. All we ever did with that logo is lose. Year after year. At least we win with Toonces on our side.
7. No, I don't hate Toonces. I think we could have done better, but I don't hate it.
8. I suspect less people are up in arms about Toonces than the representation on this board indicates.

I honestly think Toonces is one of the worst college logos going right now.

Gotta keep with the times. New logo needs to go on the helmet and replace old Mike. I would also put new logo at midfield in place of Tiger Eye to standardize our brand.

No way.

Amen. The new one looks like such a cute little kitten, not a fierce Bengal Tiger
