Simpler, but not better. That is, I hope Karl has done a better
job of programming this Logo than Leslie...

See, this switches to \rm. Which gives you a *roman* LaTeX
logo in section headings that are otherwise *bold*.
Ugly.
Furthermore, it uses \sc, which may not exist at all sizes.

See here a better way. This works as good as your
font selection mechanism is, and you can probably
extrapolate from it.

\def\LaTeX{{\count0=\fam$\fam=\count0\relax
    L\kern-.36em\raise.3ex\hbox{$\fam=\count0\relax\scriptstyle A$}
    \kern-.15em \TeX$}}
\LaTeX, \bf \LaTeX. \end
