“Cracker Barrel” is currently trending on X (along with “Texas Democrats” and “Newscum”) with a reported 25,000 posts. The last time we checked in on Cracker Barrel was April of 2024, when its new CEO said the brand wasn’t as “relevant” as it used to be and that the brand had to be “revitalized.”
We’ve made fun of brand revitalizations before, such as the barely perceptible update to Walmart’s logo to Jaguaur’s radical and widely panned “woke” rebrand that tanked its sales. Cracker Barrel on Wednesday unveiled its revitalized logo, and people aren’t thrilled with it.

A consulting firm was paid 7 or 8 figures to come up with this change after conducting a couple focus group tests.

I see that old logo and have fond memories of meals with grandparents no longer with us… It was iconic.
This modern minimalism over everything is killing the soul of so many brands. I hate it.

“Guys, trust me. Everyone loves this new look.”
I’m still trying to find one person who likes the rebrand.
