a new logo for Olive Garden

[FeuerFrei]

I know olive you guys want to see the new logo.

Sexy, no?

Olive Garden pins hopes on new logo, menu

Olive Garden has a plan to win back customers: a new logo and yet more menu changes.

In a call with analysts on Monday, executives at Darden Restaurants Inc. expressed confidence they could bring about a "brand renaissance" at the Italian chain with a new look and updated menu that presented food with "flair and sophistication." The changes include more small dishes and the option to mix and match pastas and sauces.

... The remarks came as Darden Restaurants Inc. reported preliminary quarterly results that fell short of Wall Street expectations as sales continue to slide at its two flagship chains. It said sales are expected to drop 5.4 percent at Olive Garden restaurants open at least a year.

Now I'll be comfortable paying more! 😎 😉

Hey guys, our food is terrible and people hate us.

The only way to fix that is to change the font on our logo!

Sounds like a winner!

It reminds me of poo

Reminds me of that old MadTV skit about the Olive Garden - "there is nothing I like better than an authentic Italian meal; when I can't get that, I go to Olive Garden."

 

[JulesMaximus]

With so many great local Italian eateries why on earth would I ever go to Olive Garbage?

 

[Jaepheth]

If you can't say something nice, say nothing...

so... something nice......


at least they didn't use Comic Sans.

We went there last year some time when we were driving down to Seattle. I kind of liked it for what it was. It's not like I was expecting anything great, but it was good enough. There were not really any other decent options around anyway.

You can't find a decent Italian restaurant in New York? 😵

Do you just not like Italian food? 😕😵😵😵

 

[OverVolt]

Can't say I ever ate there for the logo.

Maybe they should try like, improving the food or something.

Nahhhhhh. Panera bread is probably better than Olive Garden and its a fast food casual restaurant.

Aha! So Olive Garden has to expand out in rural areas where you have no choice but to eat there. Or expand in new places where no one has heard of this Olive Garden place that serves giant garlic croutons in place of garlic bread.

da fuck?

They should close all restaurants and just focus on making microwaveable meals for the freezer aisle at the grocery store.

 

[rh71]

I'm sure they didn't make this decision lightly. The cost for all stores to change everything inside and out alone...

I don't care for Olive Garden, but i think you have spent to much time playing with poop to see a connection.

I would agree, but their prices have crept up so much that it really isn't worth it any more. I was a fan of their soup, salad and breadstick or bottomless pasta deal but for what they charge now, forget it!

After living in Italy, all American-Italian places here in So Cal are crap. The only semi-decent ones are extremely expensive and fancy.

What's going on? I'd swear that a year or so I said that Olive Garden's food was crappy - the McD's of Italian food. I think I was shouted down in that thread by a raving pack of Olive Garden fans.

I have nothing against Olive Garden or any chain restaurant. I think people are just tired of saying the same thing about big-chain store haters. The internet is old now and there's nothing that's not been said a million times. I didn't bother either. 😀

What do you guys think of Cheesecake Factory?
