The burger king logo is a retro logo from the 70s, which was the other major era of simplified modernist logos but millennials and zoomers don't know about that.

>>213891813
lol literally every logo is better before

>>213891813
If it's the same logo, just without a 3D effect applied (WB, Toyota, VW, PBS, Rolling STone then it shuldn't be on here. WB's logo from the 70s is way simpler than the one on this image. The "new" BK logo is the same as the one from the 90s, with the one of the left actually being the new one. Lays isn't simplified in any way, it still has the 3D effects and everything.

>>213891813
>>213891922
I remember some exec saying they minimized this because on contracts it saves ink and its easier to create logo wise rather than an intricate design that's why they've all become very corporate

cracker barrel is a shitty meme restaurant either way

The 93 logo is wrong.

>>213892380
Its a themed restaurant based on the "old south". They hang antiques on the walls and have an "old time" general store in that you walk through to get to the dining room. They serve reheated frozen food like every other major chain restaurant.

>>213892422
1961-1993 are all good and very distinguished, they stood out along the highway. 1993-2015 was ok, current one is just shit

Old Cracker Barrel logo is something designed to appeal to Greatest Generation/Boomers.

They went fully bankrupt and closed all restaurants completely, then another group bought the rights to the brand & restarted it, not really a turnaround imo

Why don't we just kill off every remaining Indian, that way there's nobody left to bitch about their shitty gypsie culture?

>>213894216
Yes, but unlike say Taco Bell, it isn't a portfolio company owned by a big investment group with half a dozen or more brands.

Cracker Barrel stock had been climbing and doing great from 2010 on, then collapsed during the coof, almost memed back to it's orignal peak but was falling like a stone since April 2021. It's probably doomed, has nothing to do with a desperate rebranding.

is the "Cracker" in Cracker Barrel meant to be a racial slur? Not that I give a shit, I'm white, but I just never even thought about it.

>>213894357
>The name Cracker Barrel refers to the barrels of soda crackers that were once common in old country stores. These stores, which also served as community hubs, would receive crackers shipped in large wooden barrels to prevent them from breaking during transit.
>Once empty, these barrels were repurposed as tables where people would gather, play games like checkers, and socialize, similar to modern office water coolers. The name Cracker Barrel, with its full form being Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, aims to evoke the feeling of these nostalgic gathering places, emphasizing comfort, hospitality, and community.

old stores in small towns had a cracker barrel and a pickle jar. the barrel was a typical 50gal barrel and old guys would hang around and play checkers on it to while away the time, and grab a pickle out of the jar every so often.

The Great Irony here is doom-scrollers feeding outrage about the loss of a nostalgic restaurant logo who's theme was basically the way of life that was killed by doom-scrolling.

Motel 6 was so named because single rooms were $6 a night. Super 8 came along and promised slightly better rooms for $8 a night for a single. In those days, the best Holiday Inn rooms were about $20-25 outside of big cities.

I'm gonna say it:

The new logo is alright

Categorically false. The old logo had branding and character. The new logo is basically an advertisement that this place sucks. It says this place is soulless and sucks ass and don't expect anything of character or flavor. That is literally what the new logo says. Anyone that doesn't get this simple dies not understand branding or graphic design.

>t. Anon not understanding that it's all connected.

Get it through your head. History is problematic to these people. They all go to the same design schools and they are all thought the same thing. Which is why all the new logos look the same. Everything they say is gaslighting and the coded meaning of their words are the opposite of their dictionary definition. When they say things like "diversity" they act mean conformity. Which is why the old Cracker Barrel logo had to go.

>>213895355
Neither logo has any reason to be there
>at least young people could find
No. Just no. Cracker Barrels have never attracted young people, occasionally the grandparents would take the grandkids there instead of somewhere they actually wanted to eat.

>Cracker Barrels have never attracted young people

Yes they have. The young kids of the parents that took them there on a Sunday afternoon. Now they are alienating those same parents and families for a "modern audience" that does not exist.

So what you say is young adults don't go there on their own. Which is probably true. But you get those people on board by selling them on what you have to offer and bringing them to you. Not the other way around.

Brands that succeed are the ones that lean in and expand upon the things that got them there. Not by abandoning the things that got them there in favor of a fictional modern audience that doesn't exist.

If Cracker Barrel wanted to succeed they needed to go big and make their brand if rustic comfort food a thing. Not by going gay and making their restaurants look like a cross between CVS and Walgreens.

My dad was friends with the grandson of the dude that started this company. Sadly, they sold out to NAFTA and screwed thousands of jobs. But hey, you get cheap underwear.
