The city of Austin took a page out of Cracker Barrel’s playbook and it’s going over like a lead balloon!

I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.

For the first time in its history, the City of Austin has officially changed its logo- and let’s just say… this is not a glow-up.

The old logo had heritage and weight: a shield with red and white stripes, gold trim, and a winged Latin cross drawn from the coat of arms of Stephen F. Austin himself. You know, the city’s namesake.

But the new logo? It’s a slanted letter “A” in green and purple. That’s it. No history. No symbolism. No identity.

It’s boring. It’s bland. It’s a total downgrade.

Oh, and it cost $1.1 million as part of a so-called “branding initiative.”

Sound familiar? It’s giving major Cracker Barrel logo fail vibes, another multimillion-dollar redesign nobody asked for.

But in Austin’s case, it’s worse because this city is supposedly tightening its belt ahead of a major tax vote.

Here’s a word to the woke: quit scrubbing meaningful, time-tested symbols and replacing them with sanitized, soulless corporate clipart.

It’s a waste of money, and yes, most people hate it.
