Dumbasses Sensei Can You See (11) Funniest 4 hours ago This reminds me of when McDonalds got rid of Ronald McDonald and replaced him with Mac Tonight,a lounge singer with a crescent moon for a head. Or when NBC ditched the peacock in favor of the infamous Trapezoid N. Everyone hated both changes and neither lasted long. CS,B: Sonoma Arizona has a McDonalds with blue arches, not golden arches. Sonoma's a trendy and very expensive tourist destination with the equivalent of a Nazi HOA and has strict rules about business architecture: Stucco, earth/southwestern color palette, etc. When McDonalds opened a franchise they had to adopt Sonoma's approved colors, which don't include hot-rod red or gold. https://www.abc15.com/news/state/there-is-a-mcdonalds-with-blue-arches-in-arizona (0) Funniest 4 hours ago Confabulat (0) Funniest 4 hours ago Sensei Can You See: This reminds me of when McDonalds got rid of Ronald McDonald and replaced him with Mac Tonight, a lounge singer with a crescent moon for a head.

Doesn't mean it was good. Sensei Can You See (4) Funniest 4 hours ago Confabulat: They really forgot "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", huh. Dumbasses Gotta love what they did to their beloved golf tee game. It used to say "Leave three and you're just plain dumb. Leave four or mor'n you're just plain Eg-no-ra-moose." Now it says "Leave three or more: No reason to be embarrassed, try again." I bet the cash register prints receipts on participation ribbons. Sensei Can You See (12) Funniest 4 hours ago Confabulat: They really forgot "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", huh. Dumbasses When your CEO has to hit the morning news talk show circuit to insist everyone really loves all the changes, it means everyone hates your changes and you'll probably be out of a job by the end of the year. Sensei Can You See (6) Funniest 4 hours ago Confabulat: I was too young to remember the peacock so the weird trapezoidial NBC is still the one I remember. Doesn't mean it was good. They're still using the peacock today: Sensei Can You See (2) Funniest 4 hours ago doglover: [encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com image 554x554] I've always wondered what the gold shape behind the old logo is supposed to be. Looks to me like a jack o'lantern that's been sitting on the porch for six months. Confabulat (1) Funniest 3 hours ago Sensei Can You See: Confabulat: I was too young to remember the peacock so the weird trapezoidial NBC is still the one I remember. Doesn't mean it was good. They're still using the peacock today: [upload.wikimedia.org image 500x493] Oh yeah, I know the peacock now, and even subscribe to the service. But my childhood attachment is to the trapezoids. What can you do. I'm still annoyed by the addition of the Fry-Guys and that stupid lady pilot bird to McDonaldland.

NewportBarGuy (3) Funniest 2 hours ago I'm assuming they made the change because declining sales and this was an effort to attract more business from different groups.. So maybe if your poor cracker asses had eaten more of their sh*tty f*cking food, they'd never have changed a thing. Once again blaming others for things caused by you. dhcmrlchtdj (0) Funniest 2 hours ago NewportBarGuy: I'm assuming they made the change because declining sales and this was an effort to attract more business from different groups..

Well... perhaps that logo could appeal to a difference demographic. AirForceVet (2) Funniest 2 hours ago johnryan51 (8) Funniest 2 hours ago Trump: How do we get these morons to forget the Epstien files? (3) Funniest 48 minutes ago They're trying to make people forget the racism. I only went for the first time last year. It's a decent restaurant but you feel kind of wrong eating there. And the old timey stuff reminds you of their old timey attitude. (2) Funniest 33 minutes ago They'll get over it. (1) Funniest 32 minutes ago Maybe they were hiding the Epstein files in the barrel. (7) Funniest 31 minutes ago If a random dude on your logo is the most interesting thing about your business, then it was probably overvalued to begin with... ThomasPaineTrain (3) Funniest 31 minutes ago If you're a restaurant and the thing people like most about you is your logo, not your food...... mrmopar5287 (2) Funniest 33 minutes ago Superjoe: They're trying to make people forget the racism. No-so-cool-story: I worked at the CB restaurant that was responsible for the $1 million EEOC settlement that includes the mandatory sign posted in the vestibule of all restaurants. Racism, sexism, etc. were all open and casual. Snarcoleptic_Hoosier (4) Funniest 32 minutes ago I'm less annoyed by the logo change and more at the "modern chic" aesthetic they wanted to go with. The random crap on the walls made it look like an old barn in farm country, which is part of the charm of the restaurant. Motel 6 embraced the "we're not cool, but we're clean and reliable" simplicity. kitsuneymg (3) Funniest 30 minutes ago lol. Their growth slowed so they farked their brand to try to juice another quarter out of it. It also ssmells a lot like the equivalent of the new manager showing up and needing to change something so they have a clear sign that *they* are in charge. What a dumb shiat move from the CEO. Brut I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks. (0) Funniest 30 minutes ago The old man is probably shacking up with that Aunt Jemima lady. wet drum sandwich (1) Funniest 30 minutes ago For some reason, I expect the dude in the old logo to haul off and say, "I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro."

I caught a glance of the new logo in my peripheral vision and my dick turned into a clitoris and now I can't find it. (2) Funniest less than a minute ago Confabulat: They really forgot "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", huh. Dumbasses It's been broke for awhile; COVID hit them hard. Pretty common among restaurant chains. Had any Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips lately? At one time, there were 800+ restaurants. Now there are 4. Kenny Roger's Roaster doesn't have any US locations. Red Lobster, Boston Market, TGI Fridays, Denny's, and Jack in the Box are also in trouble, and those are the ones that immediately come to mind. /Loved Arthur Treacher's when I was a kid. Mr. Coffee Nerves (0) Funniest less than a minute ago They should have stuck with the "Cracker Barrel: The Place to Get Pegged" slogan. kmgenesis23 (1) Funniest less than a minute ago If you're a restaurant and "the best thing that people like about you" is your logo, you might have a problem.

Are y'all gonna let Steak n Shake get away with such misogyny? Even though they didn't mention anything about women, you JUST KNOW. kling_klang_bed (1) Funniest less than a minute ago Sensei Can You See: This reminds me of when McDonalds got rid of Ronald McDonald and replaced him with Mac Tonight, a lounge singer with a crescent moon for a head.
