I know he's facing the opposite way that we're all used to, but I think it works better if it could be centered properly.

This is a proof-of-concept to show that we don't need a BIG change in our logo, just some small modifications to make Toonces look more aggressive. Aside from flipping the image, I added for lines around the nose to make it look more like he's growling, added more aggressive line angles around the eyes, and completely reshaped the right eye to look not-so-female and not complacent. I also got ride of what was supposed to be the neck of the tiger and made it smaller so its just the face of Toonces.

It's a quick Paint.net job, but just trying to prove a point about our logo.

Current Logo:


My Redesign Concept:


It would even look better as a small logo on television to represent LSU:


As opposed to the current Toonces:


UPDATE: Version 2
I listened to a couple of you guys and edited it a little further. Widened the mouth and added the same angry eyebrow-stripe from the other eye. It's just a quick edit. Let me know what you think.




What do you think? Better? Worse?

Sev, I appreciate the effort, but you are trying to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.

Better. It needs to be a bit sharper and the colors need to be darker. Maybe try to get rid of more of the white.

I know. It was a slow day at work and saw a thread complaining about toonces, and I realized how hard it is to come up with a brand new logo that could be perfect for LSU, so I tried to fix what we already had instead.

I like it facing to the right but I do like the darker colors.

not even close. Toonces is just a marketing ploy for all of the bandwagon fans in denham springs. It's an embarrassment to the university IMO

I don't mind just the toonces head logo, it's the toonces logo with the hurricane looking thing on the background that I hate.

I do appreciate the effort, but there is no fixing that, only replacing it.

I would tell you to also change the oval ears - looks like a little dog.

Better. I actually like it. Relatively speaking.
