Cracker Barrel's New Logo Has Right-Wingers Posting About Sydney Sweeney, Finding Jesus

There’s no indication that Cracker Barrel simplified its logo based on politics or wokeness, but Republicans are freaking out either way.

    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.

      Maybe the side view of a saddle? It feels familiar but not sure.

      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.

      Is it really agreement? Do you feel that the new logo sucks because it’s flat, uninspired, and anodyne? Or do you feel that the new logo sucks because it’s an attack by the evil, communist, socialist, libdem, woke, LGBTQ community to remove all white culture from American society?

            Maybe that’s the goal. Is Dennys still around. This reminds me of their logos general shape, but melted.

            I like it the direction, but the topography needs adjustments. Full disclosure I’m also a design snob with a fucking BFA who got stuck coding shit for the last 20 years.

              I mean like the UV brittled plastic retro microwaved steak & potatoes with a sprinkle of asbestos variety of looking like the 70’s. Not the nostalgia kind. It’s a vibe and i guess it fits the restaurant.

    If they and Jaguar had changed their logos 15-20 (whenever the switch to minmalistic styles was) years ago, this shit wouldn’t even be news.
