Papa Johns has a new logo and restaurant design — and a name that’s slightly changed, Louisville Business First reports.They’re all a part of what the company calls a new brand identity that aims to deliver better experiences for its customers and team members, according to a news release.You can find images of the new logo and brand design below. You’ll note that the possessive apostrophe is now gone from what used to be “Papa John’s.” (formally Papa John’s International Inc.).That could be a design choice but it’s also another step for the company in separating itself from its founder, John Schnatter — who’s gone through a messy split with the company that we’ve chronicled over the years.By the way, this redesign has been in the works for a while now as we first reported on a possible new logo back in 2018. Papa Johns started in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and has long had its headquarters in Louisville, but is building a new global headquarters in Atlanta. We reported last week that it sold some land around its headquarters to Baptist Health for a future hospital.”The loyalty and love people have for Papa Johns has been built on our well-known promise of Better Ingredients. Better Pizza — and today, we are signaling to the world that Papa Johns is ‘Hungry for Better,'” said Max Wetzel, Papa Johns’ chief commercial officer, in the release. “We are evolving how the Papa Johns experience comes to life across all touchpoints, while remaining true to what got us where we are today and bringing to life our continued aspirations to improve and grow. This new experience is both a celebration of our tremendous momentum and a vision to inspire future growth.”To read more and see the renderings of the new building design, visit Louisville Business First.
