    I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.

    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.

        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.

    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.

    Conservatives are calling this a win? Really???

    Cracker Barrel: Changes logo.

    Me: Didn’t even know this happened months ago. Thats how little I care.

    Conservatives: WE WILL FIGHT FOR A FICTIONAL OLD WHITE MAN’S RIGHT TO EXIST IN A LOGO!!!

    Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.

    Cracker Barrel: Changes logo back.

    Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.

    Conservatives: WE WON!!!

    Me: STILL doesn’t give a shit. You’re the winner of a game that no one wants to play.

    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.

    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 streak of avoiding this place.

    Put the old man back in, but add another man standing behind him with his hand on the first dude’s shoulder. They’ll flip their shit even harder.
