SSmith48 90 Posted September 25, 2018 The new logo looks like a small hipster pizza chain more than an established brand. It also has wayyy too much blank space to work (look at the ribbons surrounding Papa and Johns). It's a disappointing look. While their new logo needed to go, this new one just isn't it. Also, changing your name to Papa Johns is just baffling. If you want to wash your hands of the man, just outright rebrand. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianoknight 2,753 Posted September 25, 2018 Papa Johns. You know, when the Johns are all Papas. What are they running, a brothel for priests? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, looks like they went from generic and forgettable to also generic and forgettable. IIRC, it was a series of small things. First, he complained about having to pay his employees a "minimum wage." While I'm sure the actual quote was much more specific, it was interpreted as something like "Papa John doesn't like having to pay his employees." Then, he tried to appeal to the "'Murica" crowd during the height of the NFL players not standing for the anthem controversy. That led to the NFL switching from Papa John's to Pizza Hut for "official pizza of the NFL." It was one of those things where he probably would have been best keeping his personal opinions to himself. By going on TV and making those beliefs public, it inevitable got tied into the brand itself. (Kind of similar to the Chik-Fil-A controversy from a few years back). 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old: Unused: New: Saw this the other day in their newest commercials (that are trying really hard to pretend Papa John doesn't exist). I still see "Pizza Papa John's." 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old: Unused: New: The newest version looks like some sort of cheap Chinese knockoff version. The white space is all over the place and the font is pretty uninspired. This just keeps getting more and more sad. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EddieJ1984 1,102 Posted March 8 I wish they went with the different logo instead. The old one looks like it took time to make, this one? a few minutes. I would think any firm would suggest getting rid of some elements to modernize it, instead all they did was go the sans-serif route by choosing plain ass fonts. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
