I know why they introduced the Geaux Font (it's something that can be trademarked and licensed), but I feel like it came off the logo of some software app. There is nothing traditional or strong about it. Looks like lettering for a west coast school that plays at odd times on ESPN
In the early to mid 2000s a handful of schools trademarked a font and acted like it was the most unique thing ever. But they are really very similar and hard to tell apart if the letters aren’t in school colors.

Don’t think the head coach decides something that major. Seems like AD territory. I honestly like the field the way it is. Eye of the Tiger is legendary

If you look at logos many have the same "style". Graphic design companies go on a marketing blitz, complete with some BS speech about how unique the logos are and what they "mean", and get the schools to buy in to the BS. The result is many schools end up with the same cartoonish looking crap...that cost $100k to design.
Every school has access to thousands of creative and talented kids on their campus. Just have a student contest to design a logo. I'd bet anything that would produce results 1000x greater than the shite "professional designers" come up with. And it would be a hell of a lot cheaper

Somebody told me they were doing this.

The Tiger eye has to stay. It’s iconic and awesome. I would maybe say we should add faint tiger stripes to the end zones. Just like a darker shade of purple on top of the purple or darker yellow on the yellow. Would look very clean.

Bring back the big block LSU and roll the field every five yards to give it that light dark alternating look.
Posted on 8/10/22 at 9:08 am to WackyChris
I think the state of Louisiana outline with the eye of the tiger over Baton Rouge at midfield
And go back to the Block LSU in the end zones

This is the second thread on this in the last month.
All those decisions come from the folks in branding/imaging. While CBK could technically pull rank and change anything he wants, he won't as he has more important things to focus on. He'll leave that up to the branding people who get get paid to make those decisions.
As for the Tiger Eye, it's consistently voted the best mid-field logo in college football in polls. No way that gets changed.
The only thing that might change one day is the GeauxFont (used in the endzones) which is a propriety-copyrighted type-face controlled by the University; but, that would only change as part of a much larger branding/ re-imaging campaign which I doubt LSU will do anytime soon. At least, we haven't heard plans for that.

Miles kept the Eye with the "Geaux Font" LSU in the endzones.
Don't think that had anything to do with Miles.

Get this shite out of here.
I am all for change and being up with the times, but if a team is available to take care of the field, paint the field, etc.. You don't go to turf. There is something special about the grass in TS. Plus that turf is hot AF.
This rant poster says you are nuts.

You're right, have another downvote. The eye is one of the coolest things and I find it imposing for visitors.

You do know that turf is a more generic term? You do know that in the agricultural/groundskeeping "world" turf means both natural turf and artificial? I think LSU even offers a turf management program.

Tiger eye on the 50 & purple/gold endzones forever
I see. So a scheme from 20 years ago looks "extremely outdated" but 50 years from now the tiger eye won't look outdated?
Will anyone even remember Survivor in 50 years? Does anyone even remember today that that's where we got the eye from? What does "outdated" even mean? Queer eye much?

Bring back the 2000 eye centered at the 45 for some reason

Ive always hated Florida’s gator head logo. Its very cartoonish & certainly not intimidating IMO anyway.
If course next to the LSU Toonces Hurricane logo it looks GREAT!!!
BTW that Tennessee’s Smokey Dog is just outright pitiful!!

The eye is one of (if not the most) iconic midfield logos.
LSU would be fricking up royally to remove it, save for the occasional benefit or special logo game.
Endzones, I don’t care about. Although I do like having opposite colors for them. Hope that stays as well.

There were two design companies that made a killing redesigning every college logo, minor league logo and basically any special sporting event logo around that time. The logos are all angry cartoons with dark shadows and had the school name and mascot right under the cartoon. Phoenix Design Works was one company, but there was another company who made the same type logos.
Thankfully most of the bigger schools have moved away from the terrible 2000s logos but a lot of mid-majors still use them.

They should get rid of the 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 markers on the field and go back to the North Endzone being purple with gold letters...block style
