Spur 2.0: Out with the Native American imagery, in with 'fresh' | Business

For decades, Spur's logo featured the image of a Native American man, but Spur Corporation CEO Val Nichas says the "fresh" Spur will be using product images as its focal point.

Once hosted an American visitor to SA who asked for an authentic South African experience. So I took them to Spur to troll them. They were mortified at the decor.

Are people really upset about this? Just don’t go to spur then…

Another boycott incoming...?

Another boycott incoming...?

I doubt the majority of Spur’s customer base would care to be honest.

Who cares?

Deeply

Who cares?

Those that claim to stand for the freedom of expression yet get upset when a private organisation or individual decides do something that offends them despite having no material impact on themselves.

To be honest, I have no idea what the problem here is, did people relate to the Spur decor?

 

[Ghost64]

I never noticed it to be offensive in anyway. It was the theme and the images were always done well. Like in a positive way.
I wonder who or why they would change it.

The company is changing their brand recognition, this happens all the time around the world, especially when a single brand becomes more inclusive hence it represents more products.

Private company. They can do as they please

The Spur restaurants have been updating their 'image' since 2018 already. My local Spur is quite neutral looking as to how it looked 10 years ago. New plates, new presentation. That what has remained the same is that silly cow skin seats and the children's den (or whatever it is), but everything else is modernised.

A private company uses their freedom to change their branding, I don't see the issue there.

Do they still have the bottomless coffe in your neck of the woods? Don't have it here, anymore.
