Announcement: The Bee Is Excited To Unveil Our New Logo

U.S. — Times change, and we must change with them. That was the philosophy that prompted us to update our company logo to remove anything that could be construed as appealing or exciting.

As everyone knows, bees are notoriously racist and non-inclusive insects, which presented a problematic branding situation. This made it necessary to create a new, fresh logo that would convey just the right amount of blandness and banality to help the company remain competitive in today's marketplace.

"It was time for a change," said CEO Seth Dillon in a press release announcing the new logo. "While we chose to retain the ‘Bee' name, we knew it was time to ditch the logo depicting a stylized bee insect to avoid offending anyone. Some people are allergic to bees. We don't want to be closely associated with insects that cause so much pain and suffering to so many people. So, we made our new logo as inclusive and nondescript as possible. We also got a great deal on it because the graphic designer who came up with it had absolutely no experience."

The team here at The Babylon Bee looks forward to a bright future under the new logo branding — a future with as little buzz as possible. That was a bee-related joke.

I think this one is the best ever. Amazing, because it perfectly describes the new logo.

This may cause Cracker Barrel to fire some people.

I wonder if any of the execs at the Barrel that used to cater to Crackers is smart enough to realize they are the butt of the joke.

The bee’s ARE all about the colony over the individual, and participate in a “hive mindset”. The DNC were just over there yesterday looking for new leadership.

😆 Clever.

Cracker Barrel seems to be taking a beating re it’s new makeover to plain vanilla sterile ambience.

The upper middle income and better, elite college educated people who inhabit the C suites of the Fortune 500 and investment firms are evidently quite clueless as to anything south of the Rappahannock and west of the Fall Line for East Coast entities, and east of the Coastal Range for West Coast entities. However, stock price plunges tend to get their attention.

Anyone who recently bought Bee swag with the stylized insect should sue for at least a refund! :)

On the other hand, it all just became “vintage” and is worth three times the purchase price!

Not to mention Bees are associated with a honeypot and we didn’t want to get stung going anywhere near a honeypot.

Is Barrel going to reduce their menu to water to prevent offending anyone?
