Someone said the new logo was better for digital media, but they still could have made it interesting.

They wanted to update, do a rebrand? The old one may be outdated but it told a story. A design has to have at least something to attract the eye. How was the new logo trendy?

But only after they paid them.

than comment on a private company's logo choices. Feels like it was only a few months ago.

The country's being taken over by a mad man and a bunch of idiots have nothing better to worry about than some old guy on a shitty restaurant's logo. WTF?

I really couldn't care less what they do with their logo.

cannot decide whether to stand with maga who reject a name change, or stand with alt-maga who insist on a name change.

Cracker Barrel will feature the 'Old Timer' with a darkened, decayed area on his right hand!

Return of the white old timer – the racist right rejoices.

I would hate to be a Cracker Barrel exec.

At least for the "left?"

I never could understand if there was an actual reason or definition behind they're calling it "woke"

Now the sign is only intelligible to those who can read.

Not the Cracker Barrel’s core customer base.

I’m guessing they’ve got pictures on the menus, too, right?

For a couple of reasons…

There is no such thing as “The Left”
It was political for the MAGAts because they are snowflakes
Once Trump opened his anus-mouth it became another distraction and step down the path of global irrelevance

I'm thrilled the change was voided.

Come on, now.

There has to be better things to do.

People who eat at Cracker Barrel don’t want change. They’re incapable of accepting change.

Known today as "Coke Zero"

And ZERO calories..... After starting to drink Diet Coke, I could never stand the full-on sugar version...

Especially liked Diet Coke with LIme..... In regular Coke with lime, you could barely taste the lime,
all the sugar drowned it out...

It was completely unpolitical, as is this nonsense that they're trying to sell us as controversial and representative of some left-right divide.

Break something that doesn't need fixing to create a controversy about the product and get lots of free publicity, then bend to the will of faithful customers and restore what was broken, just like the New Coke "debacle" of the 1980s

Other than having it in a restaurant, I've never drunk a coke since then. I'm a caffeine-aholic, and I can't stand coffee. I take my caffeine cold. Took a while to get used to taste of pepsi, and I never did get to the point of being able to drink a regular pepsi. Amazingly, the diet pepsi tasted a lot better to me. Today, I"m hooked on it. Coke lost a long time consumer (of a LOT of their product) when they started messing around with "formulas" back in the 80s. I remember when it happened, one of my coworkers went out and bought CASES of the coke so it'd be a long time before he ran out. I wasn't that bad. (gryn)

Now, bring back Eskimo Pie's and Land of Lakes!

Once they stopped loaning dentures at the old country store.

Try not to touch anything.

That said there are no Crapper Barrel restaurants where I live so I could give a shit less.

DAMN EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED! 🤬

Brunt of this. Workers as always.

the name of the company on a branded color background. SMDH... some people are so absolutely petty.

White House takes credit for Cracker Barrel logo reversal
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/26/white-house-credit-cracker-barrel-logo-00527928

so this controversy introduced me to the company as well as the logo(s). I guess it’s good marketing to screw around with something that gets you in the news these days. Makes me wonder what the food is like.

It's a southern food theme restaurant designed to evoke memories of old timey general stores. Conservatives love it because they fire workers for simply being gay. They've been sued for racial discrimination against minority workers too.

With cat 5 cable. I have been to HQ many times. I thought the change was stupid. I am glad they changed it back. It did mean something to the base. It welcomed them and that is ok.

They were hugely popular. They changed their name to Folks. I knew the owners from selling cash registers. They lost business and never recovered.
I moved into big legal and was an original member of a revolutionary technology company.
If I mention that I was an original member I get an immediate reception.
Names and images matter.

Now we can continue not to spend our money there.

I guess they believe a logo changes the taste of mustard.

... the new logo at least seemed a corner to make a change on from their image. MAGA 'crackers' have too much stroke for their real numbers.

that had been changed. But hey Oncrack barrel...way to BOW DOWN to the MAGA nut jobs in this FUCKED UP COUNTRY. Now they feel even more emboldened to pull their shit again,just like they did with Bud Light.

BTW MAGA Barrel,your revenue won't go up a GD penny. Those nut jobs have probably never been in a CB nor will they now.

that has to work this coming Sunday- the place will be MOBBED!

I'm sure Needy Amin would gladly take credit for that as well . . . .

negotiator settled another war. Peace Prize on the way.

noticed the old man in the logo, just the barrel. The new logo was borrrring!
