another win for conservatives. I don't know why I even care anymore. -
Wait, you mean you weren't boycotting and crying about the old logo and forcing the company to remove the image of the guy sitting by the barrel? 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
TBF, I've been boycotting Cracker Barrel for decades. Not because of their positions or anything like that, but because the food is terrible. They're hands down one of the worst chains there is.

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

Kind of like how my boycott of Target was a success, AND i got started much, much sooner than everyone else. (Because they're overpriced and their selection sucks.)

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.
57-69 was a dark time.

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.
bland and unmemorable
This is why it was great. It perfectly encapsulated both their food and store. It was an ideal logo for them.

This almost feels like a bet, or an experiment, by social media political manipulators. Like, one guy says to another, "I bet I can make Cracker Barrel change their logo back in less than two weeks using nothing more than a social media outage campaign." "Deal."
And then they do it, with some carefully planted posts across many platforms, and some well-placed calls to conservative commentators, calling attention to those posts. They successfully demonstrate their social media manipulating prowess, and ultimately sell their wares for the upcoming election cycle.

They should increase the cost of of all of their products to cover the increased cost to print their existing logo. There's no way the newer one wasn't cheaper lol

Was this just conservatives? I never saw anyone say anything positive about the changes. Potential problems with some decor they might have, I don't think that reasonably translates to completely scrub it of all personality anyway.

Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn't know about Cracker Barrel already?
Theres lots of people who have happy memories of being taken places by their parents or grandparents when they were a kid, they remember it fondly because they didnt know any better.
Now the older generation are dying off and the people who went there as kids arent going either, the change to the logo would surely have legitimately annoyed some people because that logo is closely linked to their grandparents or something like that. Now its been forced back into their concious thoughts and they will go for the nostalgia... for a while at least.

Good thing this "controversy" came along, I'd all but forgotten the place exists.

They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can't have that happening.
So it's a good thing CB is changing back

It's perhaps universally hated but for some an unfathomable reason, a very common sentiment among conservatives is that the new logo is too damn woke.

And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.

I'm far left and I thought it was dumb.

A new logo wasn't going to change the fact it's a racist restaurant chain so it's fine by me of they keep the old logo, not like the new logo was going to get me to break my twenty plus year steak of avoiding this place.

"Old cracker put back in logo to appease old crackers."
Putting the Cracker back in Cracker Barrel!

I mean, this was obviously a manufactured distraction. something the conservative media riled up their knuckle dragging viewers to be upset about so they don't have up talk about Epstein files or the fascist takeover of government by the Republican party. They'll find another shiny thing for their base to jerk off to every week if that's what it takes to fill air time to avoid the absolute train wreck shit show that is America right now.
