TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: DQ12 on March 06, 2014, 10:41:43 AM

LSU announced recently that their "Toonces" logo is going to be phased out. And it got me to thinking. For a pretty accomplished athletic department, LSU has some really terrible branding.
They came out with this in the early 2000s
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.sbnation.com%2Fimported_assets%2F414513%2Flsu_logo.jpg&hash=a0d7f83525b6e266d87223893b60a420075735ef)
Then switched over to this:

Which still looks pretty ridiculous.
And now, i assume they're going to incorporate the thing on their basketball court:

GAH!
The eye on the football field is so cool and iconic. The LSU font is neat too. Why do they always try to incorporate some bizarre tigerface logo?
-
because they are the Tigers?

Apparently, Illinois is going to unveil a new branding at the spring game. In the wake of the Chief debacle, Illinois has struggled to really find an identity. It's such a weird dynamic. Maybe bread can chime in here, but people are absolutely bonkers about the Chief logo and it'd been around forever. I'm not saying they should have kept it, but now all that's left is some sterile, nondescript I.

Sometimes there is "Illinois" written in front of the I.

What a mess.
-

But each "main logo" they have turns out to be some absurdly crude drawing of a tiger.
Missouri doesn't have the best branding in the world (IMHO), but at least their tiger looks put together and sleek.

Clemson's brand is instantly recognizable.

LSU's branding over the years is just weird:

In my opinion, they should just stick with the eye logo.
-
They should just do a tiger striped LSU and call it a day.
-
They should just stick to being Ragin' Cajuns.
-
straight on animal faces are pretty outdated. i can't thing of one that i really like.
i guess this isn't so bad.

Our bitches have done an excellent job with their branding IMO. They have a simple logo, a hand gesture that sort of mimics the logo and a saying that goes along with it.

The Tiger eye is one of the best logos, I agree they should just stick with that.
When it comes to Tiger logos with the full head, Mizzou has done a good job. I like their look now.
-
I have always liked lsu (purple bros) and I like all their Tigers. The eye looks good on a field, but not so much on a hoodie
-
They also have had an issue where they had nicknames not the tigers (Bayou Bengals, Bengals) but they have gone away from that. I generally don't like their tiger head logos cause they are too complex. Mizzou is better, but to me Cincy gets it right
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fmit%2Ftd%2Fnflquiz-0.0.18%2Fbengals_500x500.png&hash=cbf9ec3775eb1c72887e41bf03a9f3bd12084371)
Generally I am a big proponent of simpler = better with logos. The best logos are like the powercat, Apple's bitten apple, Ford, Chevy, etc. All of those logos are in general simple, clean, and effective. Those LSU tiger faces above are none all those things, and the reason the tiger eye logo does work is it is fairly simple, looks clean, and very effective.
-
Also, while Nebrasky's N and Michigan's M are very effective, they seems like cops outs, but that's just me.

Good points, I agree with simple, but distinguishable. Its got to be much tougher to be different with Tigers since there are so many, another reason why LSU's Tiger's eye makes more sense to me since it is unique.

How about our KSU Wildcats? That new hand symbol that raises awareness for Cerebral Palsy is very socially conscious. I like that.

I'm so glad we have a national brand with the powercat and k-state. That's something to be thankful for and I am.

What a mess.
Meh. A lot of schools just have letters. If that's what they want to do I'm fine with it. I wouldn't call the chief situation a debacle. It was accepted for a long time and then it was racist and they dropped it. Would have been pretty difficult for them to see that one coming decades ago whenever they came up with it (I don't really know). I wasn't partial personally and certainly not to that fuckface they had dancing around all the time. Huge embarrassment that guy.
Nobody gives a crap about Illinois' logo anyway. Might as well be an I or the word. Not embarrassing.

ADJC has done a good job of consolidating the athletics side of the brand.

UNC has it's own color. Like, it's named after the school. I guess I'd like to get to that point.

Gildan makes shirts in Carolina Blue, Texas Orange, and Tennessee Orange. We really are falling behind our peers, here.

I just checked and I have several articles of clothing and apparel that have a power cat on them but lack the mandatory ®. Do I self report myself to the AD or live the rest of my life in terror as a scofflaw, outcast.

If they're embroidered, you're screwed. Throw yourself at the mercy of officer Daris

everything but the Powercat and Old Willie are garbage.

I like a lot of our Wabash marks. It's too bad that they are restricted to Wabash Collection use only. The old buff Willie with the sweater and cap is my favorite old mark.

This is sort of what my degree is in, I have a fleece blanket that my mom had made for me with a powercat on it. Now I know that the royalties help our great university, but I liken this to downloading songs illegally. The artists already make enough from other people, one person getting the song, or the powercat logo, for free, makes little to no difference.: )

Apples to Oranges. Your mother making a blanket for personal use with no intent to sell the item is not infringing on the trademark. If your mother continues making these blankets with a KSU mark and begins selling them, however, that would be problematic. At the end of the day, getting KSU's brand out there as much as possible is a positive for the school. That said, if anyone is going to profit from producing a KSU logo'd product, it should be KSU.

Personally not a fan of the Illinois changes. I hate the rounded corners on the inside of the block I. The new wordmarks are decent but now that someone posted the 1LL1N1 stuff I can't get away from seeing that. The only thing I like that secondary logo on with the stripes is the soccer uniforms. That was 18 months for pretty much nothing. Illinois has really good in-house graphic designers that honestly could have done a lot better job.
