As far as I am concerned, this is the only logo. Call it old school, preferred, whatever, just call it the REAL LSU TIGER!!!

id kind of like to see a nice high resolution interlocking lsu, like on the baseball hats, as our "on tv" logo...its classic and says everything it needs to.

I wonder what they'd come up with . . . you couldn't JUST have the eye you'd have to have "LSU" or "LSU Tigers" in there somewhere. I've always liked K State's logo and wondered what it would look like in an LSU version.

How about something like this?



I would like to see other designs/ideas. Maybe we could submit some to the university?

Actually, Toonces is being driven over a cliff.

well it looks like we have a more official source for this and it's about damn time.

LINK

"In: The LSU athletic department’s “Geaux” font, which has been adopted as the lettering of choice by the entire university.
Out: The Mike the Tiger logo that accompanied the Geaux font lettering — at least he’s being phased out. That cartoonish Mike never looked fierce enough for the LSU souvenir-buying faithful, who often refer to him as Toonces the Cat."

why do they have to mess up a good thing? bring back the old shite and leave it alone!

Hopefully Alleva brings it back. He seems like the type of person that would be very concerned with tradition.

They should have had a challenge to the high school students of Louisiana to come up with a design.


Why HIGH SCHOOL? I took Graphic Design at LSU. Let LSU students design it.

Someone needs to look to the right of the Advocate article, where there is ad using the full Toonces, before this shite is credible!

Save Toonces, that's some funny shite


Wow what a funny moment for me. I made that .JPG about 4 years ago and just randomly stumbled upon it.

I'm going to bring the "Save Toonces" movement back one day.
