ok, so since we’re talking about the cracker barrel logo, can i ask the question i’ve always had about it?
what is the symbol/shape under the text? it’s like a bean with a pointy bit. is that just a style flourish? is it a silhouette of something foreign to my eye?
i’ve wondered this in isolation for years, but there was never enough interest in the cracker barrel logo for me to inquire about this until now.
Kidney bean
Maybe the side view of a saddle? It feels familiar but not sure.
I always assumed it was a lasso.
Oh I thought it was supposed to evoke the bottom of a rocking chair, but idk actually.
my money is on style-flourish as you've mentioned, but that pointy bit does seem out of place.
Just flourish, yeah. The rounding edge comes off the k wraps around, and at the end reverse curves upward as is popular in cursive and western calligraphy.
It's a turd.
specifically a constipation turd.
which is coincidentally what you'll make after eating at cracker barrel...checkmate librulzz /s
