They paid nearly $700 million to drop the old rocking chair guy in pursuit of an all-text logo that looked, at the risk of slipping into marketing jargon, bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old Rockin\u2019 Chair Guy notwithstanding, the Kountry Kitchen logo reimagining was an interesting choice to accompany their recent Kountry Kohl\u2019s renovations that no one has been clamoring for, and as you might imagine, people disliked it very, very, very much. And in the wake of that $700-million, agency-firing mistake, they changed to logo back all quick-like and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crackerbarrel.com\/allthemore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">made their apologies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that brief national nightmare is over, but Cracker Barrel is merely the most recent examples of brands that have chosen to eff around with their visual identity and find out their market is torches-and-pitchforks attached to that orange with a straw sticking out of it. Here are a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if you want to talk short-lived logo reversals, we have to start with Gap\u2019s six-day Helvetica vacation back in 2010.
