Cracker Barrel will go back to old logo after conservative backlash
-
Its not even political at all. It was just dumb corporate blandness that defeats the purpose of the restsurant's image. Conservatives made it political because their CEO happens to be a woman.

Have you seen it? They took everything cracker barrels about out of the fucking sign. I'm not conservative by any means but even I think this is actually a win. The new sign was just sad

Bland? No need to change? Why the whole thing?

What happened to McDonald’s? Apart from maybe a slight font change, it’s the exact same thing from 70 years ago.
Also, Burger King is an example of ditching a trendy look and going back to an older, more timeless logo.
Have you ever been in a McDonald's in the past 50 years?

I actually preferred Bob Evans breakfasts.
I'm sorry, but I've never seen an opinion be wrong before.
this was 30+ years ago, I've never been to one since then so I'm very sure it's changed.

Awww… the new one was so much cleaner and nicer.

Step 1: Get a terrible rebranding done
Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage
Step 3: Reverse the decision letting people think they’ve won
Step 4: Profit
It’s New Coke all over again.
honestly I thought it was this too

The new logo is pretty terrible. I bet they paid a lot to some consulting company for it and when they saw how bad it was they wanted to at least try to get some benefit from it.

I'm Canadian, so I don't get this cultural reference either. I see in the new one a barrel, presumably full of crackers
Also, why would anyone store crackers in a barrel?

It's literally simple. It's just boring not bad

This has been the theme of every area of design since 2015. Cars, buildings, logos, websites, interior design; everything is not necessarily bad but really boring.

Maybe they're storing hardtack? That would be on par with the blandness of their food.

I mean, I'm sure ONE of us leftists was outraged and screaming about it and forcing a good, hard-working American company to change its ways, if it wasn't you, then who could it have been??
Well whoever did it, I sure feel "owned" by the right over all this. They sure scored a victory over wokeness on this round

I said it in the last thread and I'll say it again here: I do not give a single flying fuck about any political motivation behind the changing nor changing back of the Cracker Barrel logo, either real or simply perceived, but their new logo was objectively terrible. It was so bland and unmemorable that whoever designed it should have their Macbook confiscated and be catapulted into the ocean. That is, the both of them. But preferably one each into different oceans. I don't know how much that braindead rebrand cost them in consultancy fees but I hope they can ask for a refund.
