Today (Dec. 26), SM issued a statement updating fans regarding Wendy’s health, and clarified Red Velvet’s upcoming appearances at similar year-end events on other South Korean broadcasters. But some of us others need stick our necks out there and try something new! They put red onions on the burgers instead (yuck!) They didn’t simplify the logo, they complicated it. The girl, according to Wendy's, is founder Dave Thomas' daughter Wendy at age 8. Twenty-nine years later, when the new logo was released, so was an older and more mature Wendy. Second logo, similar to the first one, but added the slogan "Quality Is Our Recipe". I do understand that maybe some people don't like the fries like that- that is ok. Wendy's used to be my favorite fast food chain; their burgers were so delicious, the pickles, onions, and bun were JUST PERFECT the way they were. Not so much because of health. The direction that they’re headed feels like progress. But because sometimes change is good. ! Long Live Wendy's!!! and the new pickles are tasteless. Just a year after the airing of the first TV commercial – and less than a decade after the first restaurant launched – Wendy's opened its 1,000th hamburger joint in March 1978. Wendy's is an American international fast food restaurant chain founded by Dave Thomas on November 15, 1969, in Columbus, Ohio.The company moved its headquarters to Dublin, Ohio, on January 29, 2006.As of December 31, 2018, Wendy's was the world's third-largest hamburger fast-food chain with 6,711 locations, following Burger King and McDonald's. By contrast, the Arby’s update seems more like change for the sake of change. Introduced after opening the second restaurant, which introduced the drive-thru pick-up window. This is the first logo that was only used for the first restaurant. But the yellow and red packaging for the United Dairy Farmers' Frosties treat was just too much to ignore. I think we could all use to be a little less judge mental! But the worst part was what they did to the buns! The Lizerbram law firm says Wendy's may have been unsure of its chances to obtain a trademark on the name Frosty, because it has been used unofficially by so many different mom-and-pop restaurants for ice cream and frozen treats for decades. The drawing in the logo is a stylized portrait of chain founder Dave Thomas' daughter, Melinda Lou "Wendy" Thomas. But around 6 months ago or so that all changed! Wendy’s found a way to intentionally and tastefully simplify their logo while simultaneously injecting a fresh personality. Just in case you need a refresher, here is the old logo: The Taco Salad returned just as it was in the 90’s, topped with the Wendy’s signature chili, hand-diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar that made it a hit in the first place.
