re: If Auburn would adopt a new logo - kind of looks like Toonces

The logo was originally made for Occidental College by a cartoonist in Los Angeles named Arthur Evans. He worked for a decal company called Angelus Pacific. It wasn't originally LSU's, although I think the LSU design looks the best of the ones shown. And no, it wasn't designed by a University of Alabama graduate, nor was Auburn the first school to use it. The link provides a history of the logo.
