Specifically talking about "Tiger Stadium" on the outside and the "welcome to death valley on the inside"

Here's the skinny on the Geaux Font. It came in a package deal with Toonces.

Tiger Rag article about Toonces and Geaux Font

quote:

The old logo was part of a major brand overhaul in 2002. It originally featured a full-bodied cartoon tiger jumping over block LSU lettering with a shadow backdrop. As the brand evolved, the lettering dropped the shadow and became the highly successful “Geaux Font,” while the tiger logo was altered to the point where just the head remained.




For those who don't know why the new Tiger Logo was nicknamed Toonces.

I can't believe that LSU actually paid some marketing firm to design that piece of crap.

What technically is our primary logo now? Is it the modernized tiger head logo or is it the geaux font LSU. And if so, what colors and outlines
