45 Controversial Redesigns That Backfired Spectacularly
As a designer I’m torn between completely hating on lifeless and/or stupid redesigns and rebrands and hating on people who actually care.
I mean look, the Cracker Barrel redesign of 2025 was a perfect example of a horrible new logo, but is that the hill you want to die on?
Still, objectively bad redesigns happen. Here are some widely mocked and hilariously bad examples of Crappy Redesigns that people straight up hated.
1. A pointless redesign
2. Well this is lame
3. Ruh-roh!
4. Cracker Barrel attempted change (they back-tracked when too many whiny people roasted it online.)

7. Heroes in the half-shell to whatever this is.
8. just why ? (porky pig)
