23 Famous Fast-Food Company Logos That Have Changed Over Time
Timothy Roberts
It’s amazing how accustomed we become to the way that America’s restaurant chains appear. It seems that they also become somewhat accustomed to the way that they look as well and are slow to change their brand. That being said, there is an evolution of the brand that occurs over the years.
We sometimes see an extreme transformation in the way that they look and at other times, it may be a slight imitation of the original. Take a look down through some of the more popular brands and you will see how they are both familiar yet different when comparing the old with the new.
