Wait a minute. The logo is literally a cracker and a barrel 🤣. I'm surprised conservatives are ok being made fun of.
Lol.
Boomer oriented company chooses to stay in business for a few more years until boomers are all gone.
I went into a Cracker Barrel once. 90% elderly.
Who gives a shit about a logo??? Companies can do whatever the hell they want with their logos so shut up about it and start asking: WHERE'S THE EPSTEIN FILES???
Probably not at Cracker Barrel, but I suppose anything's possible.
Were it not for the whiny fucking losers and their incessant bitching and moaning over everything, I wouldn't have know nor cared.
I still don't care.
No bigger snowflake than a MAGAt.
I'm not conservative in the slightest and I thought the redesign was completely ass.
Yes, but did you go unhinged calling it "woke"? The logo was a poor fit and I could get behind it, but so many MAGAs losing it over calling a lame logo "woke"....
"woke"
Yes
The whole restaurant is complete ass.
The reaction has been absurd, but their new logo was definitely awful.
It was fine, Jesus Christ
Kinda wish the public had a similar outrage when Fruit of the Loom modernized their logo in 2000, lol
I just wish they didn't try to gaslight humanity into believing there was never a cornucopia
I'm more upset about Mr Pringle.
Lost not only his hair, but the twinkle in his eye, poor chap.
I don't think that the old logo is great either, and the update did improve on technical aspects. You don't want to have all that small text, for example. And generally, simpler logos are preferable.
But...their shtick is a rustic feel. Whatever you can say about the original logo, it did evoke that. I have a hard time seeing the new one doing that.
EDIT: I also think that this compares favorably to another controversial recent rebrand: Musk rebranding Twitter, which was generally seen as not a good idea; Twitter already had a strong brand identity. People weren't happy and Musk went right ahead with it regardless. At Cracker Barrel, the initial response was "calm down, it'll be okay", but they were willing to second-guess themselves, even though I expect that there were people there who were invested in the rebrand.
EDIT2: They'd also done smaller, more incremental changes to the logo in the past, because the "Old Country Store" text had had its typeface changed at some point in the past.
EDIT3: Here's a more-comprehensive history:
https://dwglogo.com/cracker-barrel-logo/
According to another site, the logo was 1977, not 1997. Which tracks with another article mentioning a marketing person coming up with the design in the 70s
I do find it amusing that the “classic” logo everyone is pining for is from the “ancient” year of 1997…
Tbf as weird as it sounds, ‘97 is vintage now
I hate you for pointing that out.
Counts on hands... Oh yeah, it's over 10 years now isn't it?
I think there's a mistake, other sources say 1977 instead of 1997..

Thank god! Now can we get back to the important issues? How's that WAR ON CHRISTMAS going?
The war on Christmas CANNOT END until Christmas ceases its illegal occupation of November.
We are once again calling on the Claus regime to return to their side of the borders outlined in the Black Friday agreement.
November? I think you forgot to include September and October.
I've already fired my first salvo. By now I would have had at least three or four gifts already purchased and ready for the Christmas season. I haven't even bothered. And I won't. It's going to be a lean Christmas and it's going to hurt the capitalist assholes who are fucking up our country.

I've never seen people freak out so hard over a LOGO change. Jesus, it's not like they changed the typeface to Comic Sans or Papyrus or some shit!
Nothing wrong with Comic Sans. It’s highly readable for many people.
Because everything in the United States has been turned into "us vs them" crap.

Was it really conservative backlash? I don't think anyone liked it, lol.
The general reaction may have been negative, but the conservatives went unhinged accusing the new logo of being "woke"
The news sells better and is more engaging when you put it is conservative backslash instead of just overall negative reaction
Especially on this platform
