I'm not saying the current logo is fantastic, but I think there's a way that old logo can be updated without being a direct copy of the old one, which looks old, IMO. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They already updated the logo back in the '90s. On 1/30/2019 at 11:22 AM, neo_prankster said: So basically, you'd prefer this: 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s what really separated their branding from other fast food places. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never liked the blue, it always felt out of place. They haven't really used it outside of their logo in quite a while either. I actually really like what they've been doing the last five years by emphasizing the colors of the Whopper. Makes for a unique set of colors. Just replace the tan with the amber bun color, and they're set. Maybe emphasize brown more too. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lana_del_Bae 137 Posted December 31, 2020 Good choice to bring this back. The old logo may have looked cool back in the 90s/2000s when BK was actually considered cool, but now they are a left-behind brand with a dated logo in a world of better options. Clinging onto that italicized logo really gave that "peaked in high school" look really, while this is cute, fresh, and somehow classic and modern at the same time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the blue looks cheap too I don't know how a color "looks cheap", but I agree blue has no business being in their logo. IMO, fast-food logos should be warm, or "food colored" for lack of a better term. Even if that means that some of them look similar. Not all of these qualify as 'fast food', but there's definitely logos that don't convey 'fast food' to me. I get why some go with other colors - like Long John Silver's going with a nautical theme, and Taco Bell with fiesta colors - but I think they'd look better with more warmth. Lots of these logos are various shades of red, yellow, orange, etc, but they're all sufficiently distinct. The 'old' BK logo would also be plenty distinct. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That TCBY logo looks depressing is that seriously what they use now? FAKE EDIT: Yeah I guess not. Actually a decent look they have now, haven't been to one in probably 20 years 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DNAsports 6,214 Posted January 1 Reminds me of how Pizza Hut reverted back to their far superior classic logo Big win for Burger King if they’re truly reverting to the classic logo. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 20,996 Posted January 1 BK and Pizza Hut are good examples of how you almost have to change your logo in order to even have a "classic logo". No way to know for sure, but I'd wager that some people would be calling both "old" or "stale" rather than "classic" had they been each company's logo forever. Both "classic" logos are certainly better and what the logos should be, and they both qualify as "iconic", but I'm not sure I would have seen it that way had there not been a change. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should they revert back to it like how Pizza Hut did and Burger King is doing? Maybe, but do some refining. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
