USA Today: “Papa’s got a brand new look. Papa John’s Pizza released a new logo and renderings of planned changes to its restaurants Tuesday morning, the latest step as the company works to distance itself from founder and former CEO John Schnatter. The company also has dropped the apostrophe in its name, rebranding as ‘Papa Johns.’ But consumers are more likely to notice other changes the corporation is putting in place.
“Renderings show more open floor plans for its restaurants and a self-service pickup counter for customers to take home their orders without waiting in line. The company also has released a new logo, though it appears to be sticking with its longtime slogan of ‘Better ingredients. Better pizza.’ The brand has also updated its color scheme, brightening its green and red hues.
“The new design elements, according to a release from the company, ‘will modernize the Papa Johns experience and build deeper emotional connections with customers, team members and communities, while preserving what has made the brand so successful – its commitment to high-quality, delicious food created from premium ingredients.'”
