Move Away from Complacent

All good intentions but would require that dirty little four letter word that many associated with this university don't like. It would require W..R...K. Not happening. they simply don't care.

Ok...so what's your next step? Develope and send over a marketing plan to UL Athletics? Send these logos you've been pouring out the last 6 months to Addidas and UL Marketing? Des had a hoodie on in his press conference this week that had nearly the same logo...You've outlined 6 steps, can you sell those to UL, MH, or Athletics?

Not saying you don't have some good logo ideas...you do. But other than posting them here, what are you planning to do with them? You keep posting this stuff, so you must have a "next step" plan, right? Otherwise, M$M is right....

1. Start marketing the entire Acadiana area. We need to be hitting every high school game in the Acadiana area. Get Greek organizations hand out flyers invite them to come to the football games.

2. Put billboards all over Acadiana

3. Hold fundraising events all over Acadiana

4. I get making money, but they do not want to do the work to set up tents, and have a tailgating area for common folks that just coming to the game to have a good time. Tailgating is main thing here in Louisiana and Acadiana.

5. Market the name Louisiana over Ragin Cajuns, or marketing in general

6. Get a mascot.

Focus everyone. These 6 steps are the most important.

Then maybe we can move the needle.

I personally don't like your original state outline with FDL. The fleur des lis is not enough of a symbol where people will say "Oh man, that is the University of Louisiana logo."

Maybe a professional marketing firm polishing the design would change my mind.

Do a google image search for the schools below and look at the different results compared to searching for UL Ragin Cajuns:

Texas A&M
Michigan Wolverines
Texas Longhorns
Louisiana Tech
LSU


We have over 7 different logo's popping up where as the others have their primary logo, with 1-2 alternative logos popping up that at least contain the primary image of their school.

We have no consistent image to our school.

What? Who cares !! This is a fan forum made up of fans.
All I am saying is that if you want to get to the next level then this what needs to be done .

I don’t have to send them anywhere. It’s not my job to formulate a plan.

I am saying this is what real big time universities do.

Not marketing and not trying is what we do.

These 6 steps is what I would do, because that is my opinion I can have one on this site.

It doesn’t matter what logo we use. As long as we establish the Louisiana name.

Many Universities use different logos, but my only point to this is that if you create a logo that tells people who you are and what we represent then it is a win.

We don’t just represent Ragin Cajuns but we represent Louisiana as well.

So do I care if they use the FDL, or mine! No I don’t just as long as it has what other big time universities have.

One day I hope we are like a Texas, Arkansas, Alabama that is the dream I have for this University!

One part of that is acting and looking the part, and not looking small time .

How many of those logos has a symbol or logo representing Louisiana or UL? Probably none.
