Hold My Beer, Cracker Barrel: City Of Austin, TX Reveals Result Of $1.1 Million Rebranding Campaign

Posted • September 7, 2025: This reminds us of 2024, when Minnesota got rid of its old, racist flag and replaced it with one that looks a lot like the flag of Somalia. Yes, the AP reported the new flag was "non-racist." —— The Associated Press @AP: “Things to know about Minnesota's new, non-racist state flag and seal” https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-state-flag-native-americans-5c54596964bd3bb06f14d4e9a1acfade —— We can see why the City of Austin's old logo was problematic: it featured a cross in front of what appears to be an eagle's spread wings. Fortunately, the residents of the city, whose unofficial motto is "Keep Austin Weird," are getting a new logo, thanks to a $1.1 million makeover. See what you think: No, this is not satire. This is a real video of the city of Austin proudly unveiling a $1.1 million rebrand.

So in other words; Austin retired their crest — for a letter? The original crest and its meanings: • Shield and Colors: Red, white, and blue sections symbolizing Texas and U.S. identity. • Oil Lamp: Yellow lamp on blue triangle, representing education and knowledge. • Cross and Wings: White bird with yellow cross, honoring Stephen F. Austin and peace. • Text “CITY OF AUSTIN”: Arched top text identifying the city. • Text “FOUNDED 1839”: Arched bottom text marking the founding year. • Yellow Border: Outline framing the shield, suggesting prosperity. • White Circle with Blue Dots: Outer frame adding formal design. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0DpruObUAA7ErC?format=jpg&name=900x900 —— What money laundering looks like: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0DDutcW4AADt5w?format=jpg&name=medium —— It’s so bad I’d swear I read autism before i realized it said Austin, seriously it looks like a big pharma drug logo not the city crest, which is what the original was.

One of the reasons Austin and other places are getting rid of crests, seals, and coats of arms is because they represent Western civilization and the left, of course, wants to erase as much of it as it can. —— Rebranding is all money laundering because no organization ever does the work in-house, but hires (their friends) "contractors" to do the "studies and design." Once their friends gets rich off this, they favor-launder the kickbacks, so that the fraud is never detected. —— This is so painfully moronic. What a massive, shameful downgrade. An insult to history, and to all those who built that legendary Texas city. Bring back the beautiful coat of arms and ask for forgiveness before the cross that tops it. (…)
