The country’s go-to spot for breakfast has changed its logo.

Cracker Barrell has been serving up homestyle favorites to customers all over the country since 1969.

This week, the national chain changed its logo, removing the man and the barrel from the yellow sign.

Cracker Barrell logo

According to the restaurant’s website, it was updated to celebrate the diversity of all our guests with a logo that represented our continued passion for pleasing people of all races, colors, and genders.

The previous logo featured a man sitting next to a barrel many believed to be Uncle Hershel, after a popular breakfast platter.

The company says the logo was created by Nashville designer Bill Holley on a napkin back in 1977 with the goal of creating a feeling of nostalgia with an old-timer wearing overalls.

What do you think of the new logo? Let us know in the comments.
