    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.

    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.

      the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain

      Calling it Cracker Barrel is truth in advertising in that case.

    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.

      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.

        You could almost wrap it around to how corporations fuck everything up but that would be too much for their little brains

    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.

    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

    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.

      Or more than likely a marketing stunt by Cracker Barrel. Announce a new logo to get everyone talking about you. Then backtrack to stay in the news a little longer. Plus now you don’t need to spend any money on new logos. Boom you just got tons of free advertisement.
