Fucking really? When they fired huge percentage of the kitchen staff and ruined service, when they switched the suppliers to cheaper and mostly pre prepared ingredients, when they cut potion sizes and jacked prices. That was fine, no problem… but, they changed the logo… slightly? DISASTOR!
Like, this really is what I find absurd. That people are so willing to let their discontent be redirected to symbology, rather than question systems making things materially worse.
As insignificant as a mid quality restaurant chain is, it just seems emblematic.
Because it's a perfect representation of their cult behavior. Brainwashed into only caring about surface level snapshots of issues instead of actual material details.
That said, new logo is actually trash compared to the original. Can we please just let this trend of minimalist corpo slop die already!?
Honestly, If they changed the logos of things but did’t gut the quality… it would really not matter.
Oh yeah, fair.
I just personally hate that all major business logos now seem to just be the name on a single color background. I miss when logos had personality.
I really think they're finding the last corners they can cut for profit, meager as it may be. Less colors, less details, less $ to print. That's my theory at least. Another good example of what you're talking about is the Pringles guy:
Edit: Dunkin Donuts is another one, come to think of it. I swear they're going to pull a Prince one day and have their name become a single emoji/symbol or something. They managed to squeeze all the way down from Dunkin' Donuts to Dunkin' to DD... I'm convinced they're going to be the first major company to be named a symbol and people will call it DD or maybe they'll even come up with a new sound that will represent their symbol, and you'll have to get their app to make the sound 🫠
I already call it DD when I cave to needing a quick coffee when I’m running late.

A lot of folks lack curiosity.
