Louisiana Golf Association unveils new logo
The Louisiana Golf Association (LGA) unveiled its
new logo on Tuesday. “The updated logo ushers in a new
era of golf in Louisiana,” said LGA Executive Director
Logan Ray. “The unification with the Louisiana Women’s
Golf Association has positioned the LGA to better serve
all golfers in Louisiana, and as such, we needed a logo that
reflects this exciting opportunity.” The modernization of
the LGA’s logo removes the silhouette of a male golfer
and replaces it with a flagstick that bisects the state. The
iconic outline of the state of Louisiana is still the focal
point of the logo.
The LGA’s recognizable green and gold color scheme
will remain, but adjustments have been made so that the
new logo will have a green outer ring and the state of
Louisiana will shine in gold. “Since 1920” continues to be
inscribed across the base of the logo, an important detail
that will be highlighted during the LGA’s centennial year
in 2020.
The newly released logo will replace all existing logos
effective immediately.
