Prefer the original! Am i wrong?
This doesnāt feel like a professional rebrand. Iāve seen much stronger recreated Cracker Barrel logos on freelancersā Behance portfolios. behance.net/gallery/241023185/Cracker-Barrel-Old-Country-Store-Logo-Proposal
Itās interesting that youāve linked to your own work on Behance. Itās fine that you did since itās on-topic, but I wish you hadnāt been deceptive about it.
Even so, I agree that what youāve put together is better for all the reasons you state at the beginning of the Behance page
Iām genuinely curious about something. How does someone in Karachi, Pakistan, have such good insight into the nostalgic feelings that some American restaurant patrons have for their favorite restaurant? I would completely fumble any attempt at redesigning something that tapped into a subset of Pakistani culture. Iām far too removed from it to understand the nuances.
