The new logo did not go over well in some spheres, and on social media, conservative critics accused the restaurant chain of abandoning its traditional values or of being “woke.”
When someone uses the word ‘woke’ as an unironic insult, I’ll probably think it’s stupid, but at least I understand what they’re saying. Until now, that is. What the fuck is “woke” supposed to mean in this context? What makes this bland logo change “woke”?
There was a man on the old logo and no man on the new logo. Totally woke.
They had some lgbt hires and dei stuff a few years ago and the ceo and is a woman so the new logo is clearly the end result of all that woke (reading: anything not catering to straight white males) nonsense
What the fuck is “woke” supposed to mean in this context? What makes this bland logo change “woke”?
Woke is anything that I don’t like.
Just what we needed. Conservatives feeling even more empowered. Goddamnit.
Maybe this success will inspire them to redirect their attention from politics to corporate branding practices.
Why? You want the Washington Redskins back
I wish they would target Netflix and their recent UI update next.
Called it. They new coke’d that shit.
I will continue to not care at all about it. Release the Epstein files.
Mm
Government bailout…
Huh. I guess crackers like representation too.
When my kids were young they started calling cracker barrel “the honky bucket”. It just stuck as the name. I think they should add that to their logo.
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.
Trump stored those stolen documents he was selling to the Saudis in a bathroom. You never know where he hides documents he absolutely has.
oh man. so thankful. just biting my nails about the cracker barrel logo.
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!
Bunch of snowflakes wanting their safe space
Because everything in the United States has been turned into “us vs them” crap.
Jaguar cars: am I a joke to you?
Jaguar was less about the logo and more about that whole marketing campaign. It was like they were doing a cologne commercial and left out the car completely. The logo change was the least of it.
When we did finally see the car, it looked like an AI generated concept, not an actual car. :(
Nothing wrong with Comic Sans. It’s highly readable for many people.
I’m this house we cryptographically decipher wingdings like god intended!
It was really shit rebrand though
This is what happens when the media no longer does news but goes begging for clicks with rage bait. All it does is incentivize stupidity and lack of nuance. This country just keeps getting stupider and it’s only going to get worse the way they’re destroying the education system.
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”
Non-conservatives give a shit about cracker barrel?
I’m a Leftist Progressive living in North Carolina, and I like Cracker Barrel
Uhhh, there’s a shit ton of Cracker Barrels in NY, going to Cracker Barrel for family meet ups and shit was a staple in my family and made precious childhood memories for me, and we’re black as hell. Plenty of non conservatives love CB. There’s a shit ton black people makes jokes online rn about missing the “segregation” vibes of CB.
I will never forget their Coca-Cola fudge cake.
I gotta meet up with the old people in my family somewhere. I’m not having them in my house are you crazy
LOL, that’s been the only reason I’ve ever set foot in one. People who were very much older in my extended family liked the place…and so for whatever reason, I kind of thought of the place like Grange halls - something the older bunch have an affinity for, but I don’t quite understand how it fits into my life in the here and now. :/
Have you tried literally anywhere else? Every few years my wife convinces me to try it again and it’s always the worst. Are there really no local breakfast places around?
Fortunately, I’ve got a few good diners to choose from
Honestly, I would have tried it again more recently if it weren’t for the fact that they don’t seem to have any interest in accommodating vegetarians at all. Also, I think a few of them closed in Denver area.
Some people out there are really reluctant to branch out and try anything different. There’s a million places around me selling the same food but better, but some people just want to go to cracker barrel.
Old people especially, but also some people with, for example, autism, ARFID, etc. can be really picky about where they’ll eat, and sometimes it’s just not worth the aggravation of trying to get them to try something new.
Hell, I have some friends who aren’t even particularly picky who can be reluctant to try out new places. Restaurants aren’t cheap, I can understand being reluctant to spend money on food you’re not sure you’re going to like.

That and sometimes you have to go to the same restaurant a few times until you find the dishes that are good there…
I don’t know. I don’t eat there often, but pretty much everything they make is good. I can’t even think of another place that makes chicken and dumplings… For that style of food, I would always take a higher end one off restaurant in the Carolina. But for something ubiquitous, it is pretty much the only option, and it isn’t as expensive as Shatley Springs or something.
I think I went there twice before they shut down here. I mean, it wasn’t AWFUL. I’d rather eat at a local place though.

Nope
People talked about here a lot, I had never even heard of it before
nope, because its not near where we live. Only cons ever cared about this.
[Other Party]’s general population is totally upset about something [Our Party] thinks is good or even doesn’t give a fuck about!
We must be reactionary over the most trivial stupid shit and bicker and deflect from [List of Enormous Issues and Catastrophes], and create a new issue for everyone to point fingers about!
/s
Personally, I think it looks terrible and I’m a die-hard lefty/socialist/liberal whatever you wanna call me. I don’t eat there and don’t give a fuck about them, but this media attention over this “controversy” has pushed me to form an opinion on something I wouldn’t otherwise care about — and honestly if conservatives hate it, then fuck, I agree with them for once because it looks fuckin’ soulless and terrible lol.
I only learned about it when I saw headlines about the backlash that was costing them millions.
My first reaction after figuring out it was not the Onion was…are they still in business? I honestly didn’t know they were still operating. I looked on the map in the Denver area and the one I thought was in Littleton/Lakewood area either is a figment of my imagination, or they closed.
Yes. It was.
Just from a design perspective, there was too much wasted space
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
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.
conservatives are anti-progress.
Also, Cracker Barrel sucks.
Also my take. Who the fuck cares?
Go figure. The people that hate change hated it enough to force a corporation to keep their logo.
