I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.
They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can’t have that happening.
So it’s a good thing CB is changing back
I mean, this was obviously a manufactured distraction. something the conservative media riled up their knuckle dragging viewers to be upset about so they don’t have up talk about Epstein files or the fascist takeover of government by the Republican party. They’ll find another shiny thing for their base to jerk off to every week if that’s what it takes to fill air time to avoid the absolute train wreck shit show that is America right now.
If it encourages them to eat there, is it really such a bad thing, I mean t a diet heavy in the types of food Cracker Barrel sells can’t be good for you and republicans hate healthcare. Seems like it might be a self-solving problem.
They hate healthcare until they need it. Then they have a sob story and create a GoFundMe.
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.
McDonald’s and taco bells used to look so cool, now everything is corporate and bland and sterile. Chain Restaurants all look the same now
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.
I think they’re talking about the restaurants themselves. McDonald’s used to have some wild interiors!
Have you ever been in a McDonald’s in the past 50 years?
They’re referring to changes like this:
57-69 was a dark time.
I’m pretty sure conservative media made it political to rile up their base and distract from anything important; ditto the Sydney Sweeny fuckaround
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.
honestly I thought it was this too
The new logo is pretty terrible. I bet they paid a lot to some consulting company for it and when they saw how bad it was they wanted to at least try to get some benefit from it.
It’s literally simple. It’s just boring not bad
It’s just boring not bad
This has been the theme of every area of design since 2015. Cars, buildings, logos, websites, interior design; everything is not necessarily bad but really boring.
Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage
I see conspiracy theories everywhere
Conservatives are fucking dumb
EDIT: this stinks of Fox News outrage. Goes to show how their viewers are so easily led.
I have moments where I think I’m surprised that something stupid matters to people, then I remember how stupid some people are. Thank goodness conservatives are such active participants in the things that matter most
how stupid
There’s that, and there is also a massive ecosystem of griftfluencers endlessly manufacturing outrage and pumping it straight into millions of anger addicts, every hour of every day, from Fox News at the top, all the way down to Uncle Jeff on Facebook. The need to get high short-circuits intelligence every time.
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.
When you own all three branches of the government, have deported thousands of innocent, disenfranchised people, and you’ve got civil liberties and democracy on the ropes, but your whole shtick is grievance and vengeance, you get nonsense like this. They need more to things to get mad at to feed the monkey on their back.
They will always find another bag of Rage Heroin somewhere. Fox can always manufacture more.
They are the winners of a game YOU don’t want to play. And they don’t give a shit about you.
You went from “I don’t” to “no one wants” in a most logically crazy way.
Bland logo? Not okay. Bland food? Totally fine.
it’s been a spell since I’ve been to the US but the only thing I remember about Cracker Barrel is the triangle/golf tee game they had at the tables. The food? I don’t remember anything about the food or what I even ate. but that game? I was all over it.
I actually preferred Bob Evans breakfasts. I remember as a kid whenever my family visited the states I would insist we go to Bob Evans for breakfast.
I actually preferred Bob Evans breakfasts.
I’m sorry, but I’ve never seen an opinion be wrong before.
this was 30+ years ago, I’ve never been to one since then so I’m very sure it’s changed.
“Old cracker put back in logo to appease old crackers.”
Putting the Cracker back in Cracker Barrel!
Imagine caring that much about a corporate logo. Weirdos.
bro please talk about brands bro please
I didn’t give a shit when they changed it, and I still don’t.
After a bunch of free advertising, what a shocker!
Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn’t know about Cracker Barrel already?
Theres lots of people who have happy memories of being taken places by their parents or grandparents when they were a kid, they remember it fondly because they didnt know any better.
Now the older generation are dying off and the people who went there as kids arent going either, the change to the logo would surely have legitimately annoyed some people because that logo is closely linked to their grandparents or something like that. Now its been forced back into their concious thoughts and they will go for the nostalgia… for a while at least.
The stock price sure seems to think so. Reality may be different, but the shareholders are happy.
Republicans are sensitive snowflakes
Goddamnit stop teaching conservative snowflakes that their annoying, incessant whining works sometimes!
I mean, its cracker barrel. That’s their entire customer base.
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.
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.
