Definitely worse, no doubt about it.

Yep. Generic is exactly how I'd describe it too.

It looks MORE like it's from the 70's.

Maybe that’s the goal. Is Dennys still around. This reminds me of their logos general shape, but melted.

I like it the direction, but the topography needs adjustments. Full disclosure I’m also a design snob with a fucking BFA who got stuck coding shit for the last 20 years.

I mean like the UV brittled plastic retro microwaved steak & potatoes with a sprinkle of asbestos variety of looking like the 70's. Not the nostalgia kind. It's a vibe and i guess it fits the restaurant.

To be fair it's tasted that way for far longer than they've been remodeling

So it fits their food. That's great advertising.

Looks like a belt buckle for a cowboy

Older is nicer. Why must one ruin logos like this.
