Don't shoot the messenger. The logo is embarrasing.

I've stated this before, but the way to handle this is to introduce the LSU individual who sanctioned the logo to the TS crowd at halftime of the Florida or Auburn game this season & observe how the crowd reacts.

Sent these guys en e-mail. Unfortunately I think the only way for them to actually do anything about this is if everyone really stops buying toonces logos. I dont think that will happen though. There are too many tiger fans with bad taste.
Dear Mr. Monday and Mr. Hommel,
I am writing to voice my displeasure with the current LSU Sports Logo. I graduated from LSU in 2006 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts with a Graphic Design concentration.
As a tiger Alumni, I would much rather see the traditional "Football Helmet" tiger used to represent my school.
The newer logo is very busy. When you see the logo on television, or shrunk down, it becomes very hard to decipher what it is. And to be honest, its flat out ugly.
A large part of LSU's following feels the same way as me. I can remember as a student signing a petition to try and change the logo, but nothing ever really came out it.
Many people, including myself refuse to buy LSU merchandise with the new logo. From what I understand the sale of LSU merchandise has increased, but If were to guess, the two Football National Championships had a large influence on these numbers.
I love LSU and am very faithful and proud to call my self an LSU fan, and Alumni. This is one of the best Universities in the county, and It deserves to have an identity that represents its greatness.
I know you can't please everyone, but I am fully confident that if there were some kind of poll taken, the majority of LSU affiliates would agree with me.
Please do whatever you can to change this logo back to the beautiful tradional logo we all love and enjoy.
Thank you for your time, and as always,
Geaux Tigers

Nick, your letter reflects my feelings exactly. The problem with this situation is like shopping at Wal-Mart but not buying anything made in China (I've tried). Not buying Toonces stuff is very hard to do if you want to purchase any LSU merchandise. That's what makes me so aggravated.
Posted on 8/24/11 at 8:56 pm to RBWilliams8
This one is fine. I don't want it on the helmet, but I'm ok with this logo:
This one I hate. It is the worst LSU logo of all time. It is horrible. I think it should be illegal. And for that matter, everyone I know, hates. I refuse to buy anything that has this logo on it:

Nick,
LSU truly appreciates your comments about the brand identity that was
released in July 2002. Over the last nine years, LSU has received both
positive and negative comments concerning the new logos. Overall, the
University is very pleased with its visual identity, as it has served to
effectively promote and expand LSU's brand throughout the national
landscape over the last 9 years.
I have attached the current LSU art sheet so you can reference the
current brand identity of the University. Through the brand identity
process, LSU created a family of logos, whereby the primary mark can be
broken up into individual elements/marks. Due to this fact, some fans
have gravitated towards the new LSU wordmarks, while others really like
other the new tiger head that was created. There are now over a dozen
marks to choose from that are used to represent LSU, and many of these
marks contain elements that resemble the other. This is an outstanding
feature that makes these marks unique, and adds to the long term value
of the marks.
LSU has also seen a significant response from the fans with regard to
LSU's brand identity relative to the products' success in the retail
marketplace. In FY 2010-2011, LSU generated nearly $4.5 million in gross
royalties from the sale of officially licensed LSU products. This figure
represents a 423% increase when compared to FY 2001-2002. In the 9 years
since the brand identity was released in July 2002, LSU has generated
$31.3 million in gross royalties. To put that in perspective, LSU
generated $7.2 in gross royalties from the years 1981-2002.
In an effort to provide fans with a broader selection of LSU products,
the University participates in the College Vault program
(www.collegevault.com), a collection of vintage products which enables
select licensees to use the classic and historical LSU logos that are
shown on the attached College Vault art sheet. The College Vault
contains the images and logos exhumed from the collegiate archives which
have now contributed to the creation of unique vintage-inspired clothing
and accessories. The College Vault brand assures consumers that such
items are officially approved and authenticated by colleges,
universities, football bowl games, the NCAA, and other collegiate
institutions. I recommend you visit local retailers such as the LSU
Bookstore, the LSU SportShop, and many other retailers listed on
www.LSU.com to find products that are currently available within the LSU
College Vault program.
Thank you once again for your continued support of LSU. LSU appreciates
your passion as a Tiger fan. Have a great day

Definietly. And, actually, I'm not sure too many people would notice at first glance. The fonts aren't that different.

Hommel responds quickly, had a question about a tailgating shirt we were making a few years back and he got with me quick.
someone has to know though that the toonces head happened to coincide with the golden era of LSU football and sales were relective of success not toonces.
i really like the "geaux" font but hate toonces.

Here is the response I got from the e-mail I sent yesterday. I guess I would just like to see the helmet logo used as our primary logo. Nice rapid response from Brian. I would imagine he has copied and pasted this e-mail many times before....
