Mission
The Loker Student Union provides an environment which is designed to encourage interaction among the campus’ constituent groups (internal and external), enhance the sense of campus community, and expand the avenues through which the university educates students.
Through its many activities and services, the Loker Student Union provides cultural, social and recreational programming that supports the educational mission of the University, encouraging the development of citizenship, leadership, and social responsibility for success in a dynamic and pluralistic society.
Our Logo
The LSU went through a year long rebranding process
that resulted in a new logo for the organization, a
refreshed look inside the student union and renewed
energy to take the LSU to the next level. After following a
step-by-step process, the analysis and findings led to a
logo contest amongst students. The winner of the
contest, Adrian Gonzalez, Graphic Designer for the LSU,
designed a creative logo that expresses what the campus
community felt about the student union.
The LSU wanted to provide a consistent experience and
strengthen our brand. The logo design relates to the
letter “X” because this letter is a mark, an indicator and an
identifier. The letter “X” marks the spot on maps of a
specific location, often the place to be, which makes
sense given the LSU is both the literal and physical heart
of the campus.
The design is made up of four geometric shapes meeting
in the center to create unity. Each shape represents a
different entity found in the LSU: student, staff, faculty
and administrators. The logo was designed to have a
sense of movement related to the people who
consistently enter and exit the busy building.
