Cracker Barrel Reinstates Original Logo Amid Backlash Over Redesign

Summary

Cracker Barrel has decided to revert to its original logo following public criticism of its recent redesign, which removed the iconic 'Uncle Herschel' image.

Cracker Barrel has announced it will revert to its original logo after facing significant public backlash over a recent redesign. The new logo, introduced last week, omitted the traditional image of 'Uncle Herschel'—a man in overalls leaning against a barrel—in favor of a more streamlined design featuring only the company's name. This change sparked criticism from customers and public figures, including former President Donald Trump, who urged the company to return to its previous branding. In response, Cracker Barrel stated, 'We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our 'Old Timer' will remain.' The company emphasized its commitment to preserving the elements that customers cherish, such as rocking chairs on the porch and vintage Americana decor. Following the announcement, Cracker Barrel's stock saw a 2.5% increase on Wednesday.
