I noticed the local hardware store finally updated their logo after 20 years. | Branding Breakdowns

They swapped the cluttered, tiny text for a bold, simple wrench icon you can read from across the street. Has anyone else seen a local business make a change that actually improved their look?

Wish my own rebrand attempts went that well. Tried to update my personal logo last year and ended up with something that looked like a sad potato. Clean and simple is always the move.

That diner sign convinced me simple really is better.

Remember that old diner on Maple? My buddy used to call it the "word soup sign" because the old one had like five different fonts. They redid it last fall, just the name in big, clean letters and a simple coffee cup. Place looks ten times more legit now. Honestly, it used to look kinda sketchy from the road. The new sign makes you actually want to stop in.
