    So now American corporations have to get permission from MAGA to change their logo?

    I’m about to expand my business from a tourist city to a big HCOL city, and I want to rebrand it in the new city, with a new name and logo. Do I need to apply for MAGA permission first? Does Don Jr have to sign off first?

    What exactly are they pissed about? Yeah, the new design looks like ass, but what’s woke or even political about that?

    I’m confused. The new logo is great, or it’s shit, I don’t care. But what does it have to do with wokeness? Did the old man sitting by the barrel start sucking dick on the billboard? Has he transitioned? Does the new logo secretly spell out black lives matter in invisible ink? It’s just the name in a sort of blob? How is this political? What am I missing here?

      Sure it was. But it’s spelled Jesús, and he was just an immigrant trying to make a better life for him and his family back home in Mexico.

        They had a DEI/nondiscrimination campaign because of several high profile stories where restaurants were accused of racism (black diners being asked to move away from seats visible from the entrance, at least one black person being told “we don’t serve your kind” or words to that effect.)

        It’s better in some ways, worse in others. It’s shit for a thumbnail, for example. The old one stand out more, but the new one is more readable and fits into any format.

        Yeah, I think so too. I don’t see why they had to change the font, at least the C had character. Now it’s the most boring plain forgettable font imaginable and black at that. It’s like they didn’t even try.

        It makes the size of the logo versus the text look like nothing but wasted space. Hell, versus the text portion, it looks like MORE extra space is used than the old logo, ony with zero charm or familiarity to show for it.

        If they wanted to re-brand as a truck-stop, merge with Love’s, don’t just rip-off their color-scheme minus the Heart.

    They are so upset by the dumbest, most asinine things… Meanwhile, not a word can be spared for America’s concentration camps.

    now that I’ve been forced to hear about this shit halfway around the globe, can someone tell me what’s the significance of the bean-like shape of the original’s background?

      it echoes the shape of a baby in the womb or some shit, probably (retroactively decided by the general public)

        seems like it has been referred to as kidney bean so that’s what I’m gonna go with, not that it matters much anymore. at least until they inevitably bring it back

    Is it supposed to read like he got banged in the ass for some crackers or am I just fucked in the head?
