I'll say this as someone who hasn't eaten in Cracker Barrel for over twenty years:
The new logo is timid. It's a stock font imposed over a too-symmetrical shape reminiscent of Denny's circa 1982. Removing the human form separates the logo from any sense of place or time. The result is weak tea.

I assembled two flat-pack nightstands last night. Because we can't trust that people already own tools anymore, each one came with a Philips head screwdriver. I guess I'll put them with all the Allen wrenches, miniature hammers, and other tools I've acquired from furniture kits through the years.
