Trump declares Cracker Barrel should bring back old logo

President Donald Trump believes the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain should bring back their old logo.

“Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

They got a Billion Dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right. Very tricky to do, but a great opportunity. Have a major News Conference today. Make Cracker Barrel a WINNER again,” Trump added.

Cracker Barrel has faced backlash since it rolled out a new logo on Aug. 18 that removed the “Uncle Herschel” character.

“Since 1969, Cracker Barrel has delivered heartfelt service, homestyle food and an unmatched dining experience. With nearly 660 locations nationwide, the brand remains a go-to for guests seeking community, comfort and special moments they can carry with them long after they leave,” the chain said in a press release unveiling the new logo.

“Anchored in Cracker Barrel’s signature gold and brown tones, the updated visuals will appear across menus and marketing collateral, including the fifth evolution of the brand’s logo, which is now rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape and word mark that started it all,” it also said.

Then a week later, Cracker Barrel said it “could’ve done a better job sharing who we are and who we’ll always be” after customers expressed outrage over the new logo.

“If the last few days have shown us anything, it’s how deeply people care about Cracker Barrel. We’re truly grateful for your heartfelt voices,” the company said. “You’ve also shown us that we could’ve done a better job sharing who we are and who we’ll always be.”
