Subject: New Logo for Burger King

Written By: LyricBoy on 01/10/21 at 3:11 pm

For the first time since 1999, the boys at. Burger King are updating their logo.

The old “Burger King inside a blue circle” logo is being replaced by the old school, classic Burger King burger logo.  8)

Pizza Hut and Burger King are now going retro, I wonder if this will inspire a new trend for old designs to come back in the 2020s...

Good now let’s go retro and reopen all the northern Michigan BKs that they closed down last year.

Maybe Chick Fil A could go retro, too, and reactivate their old logo and tag line.  8)

So basically, it's gonna revert to the original one. Fine with me. I don't care one way or the other. ;)

Hopefully they get rid of that creepy “King” character.

It would also be cool if they resurrected their old jingle:

“It takes two hands, to handle a Whopper, the two-fisted burger from Burger King!”  8)

I think the logo was the least of their problems.

I would have been just as happy if they could ever get their Frozen Coke machines to work.

I don't know LB, that sounds a bit too sexual.

I think the retro-inspired look and theme is executed really well. I especially love the brilliantly merged "BK" logo. Just absolute perfection.

I prefer the old logo. It looks more modern.

I haven't seen that one yet, it is pretty cool.

It reminds me a little bit of the old Burlington Northern Railroad logo.

The current BNSF logo sux. When the BN purchased the Santa Fe railroad, the timeless Santa Fe logo was discarded, and a new, soulless “BNSF” logo was created.  ::)

To me, it just looks like they're being desperate of being in the "80s are still back" trend that you see on a lot of companies nowadays. I don't know what made Burger King decide to revamp their logo to look like they used from the late 20th century.

Both music and logos are bringing back the '80s now.

They should just keep it the way it is, there was no need for re-vamping.

I kinda like the 1955 version.

They should go back to that one.  8)

The two in the middle, look very similar; the only main difference is the typeface used. (There are other small differences, such as the shape of the buns, and the specific colours used for the buns.)

The retro one is very minimalist.

I don't know why they have to keep changing things all the time. You get used to one thing then they go and change it. The current logo is a lot better than the new one.

Yeah the 1999 one looks more inviting. The minimalist one would look better on phone screens and digital advertising.
