The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In a rare display of management admitting it honked up, Cracker Barrel is going back to it's old logo.

I can't help but wonder how much companies spend on logo changes. I know VW and Renault have each changed the appearance of their logo multiple times over the years. A few years ago, VW changed the font used in their "Das Auto" slogan, but the change was so slight that I could barely see it, when the two versions were shown side by side. I don't get it. How much capital do companies pee away having new logos designed, and "new logo" materials being distributed around the company, instead of doing something productive with the money?
