Immediately after the brand revealed that it was going back to the original logo, fans took to the comments to share their thoughts. In general, people were happy about the restaurant's decision, with one commenting, "Thanks for getting the hint… Or the megaphone. ??? Leave it all the way it was!"
"Good let that man sit by his barrel ..he ain’t bothering anybody lol," read another response, while a third user declared, "The old logo should stay! The new one was dull & unappealing."
A similar comment read, "The 'new' logo was bland and boring, just letters on a background. How could that be an improvement?"

"Okay so y’all folded. Lemme get my like back. Lol," said a different user.
Cracker Barrel's Controversy Started Earlier This Month
Only days ago, Cracker Barrel shocked fans when it announced that it would be changing its logo. The company unveiled the new version of the classic brown and yellow logo fans were used to, with the new logo a simple shape with the restaurant's name in it, without the man and barrel imagery or the "Old Country Store" text.
After the announcement, fans denounced the move, with celebrities even getting involved with the conversation. Country singer Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany, spoke out against the restaurant, saying on social media that "yall been actin a fool." A lot of fans agreed with them about the new logo, while some fans didn't mind Cracker Barrel's change.
Along with the vocal response from fans displeased with the brand's decision, Cracker Barrel also faced an economic loss after the move, with CNN reporting that the stock fell more than 12% in the wake of the initial logo announcement.
