- Don't know if the signs had changed on a significant number of stores; those driving up and down I95 (the customers) may have had no idea at all the controversy was happening
- Ten days of sales doesn't seem like long enough to draw any conclusions

The claimed reason for changing the logo was valid - it will be more recognizable for poor eyes and on small screens. I don't recall reading any reason for the outcry other than, "they changed something!" Honestly seems like the second manufactured controversy in two months, more like an attempt at a distraction.
Well when you slap you’re customer base it face don’t play dumb when the abandonment comes.
