The Salt Lake City Olympics planned for 2034 are now the Utah Games after organizers announced a new logo and name to reflect the multi-community work that goes into hosting the largest winter sports event on Earth. The state's Governor, Spencer Cox, says the new logo has united people-though not in a good way. "It's really brought people together because everyone seems to not like it," Cox said at a recent press conference.

On August 19, Cracker Barrel rolled out a new logo as part of its fall campaign. A week later, the Lebanon, Tennessee-based chain announced that its "Old Timer" logo, complete with a man known as Herschel, leaning on a barrel, would return. Some influential conservatives, including Donald Trump Jr., criticized the new logo, which removed Uncle Herschel and the barrel shortly after its announcement. While companies have triggered backlash with design changes before, Cracker Barrel became a target of the president's vocal base.
