I just noticed on the SDC webpage that the logo in the upper left hand corner (the iconic axe and log) has SILVER DOLLAR CITY OZARK MTNS instead of Branson Missouri or just Missouri.  Has this already been discussed and I missed it?  Does anyone know why they changed it to OZARK MTNS?  Just curious.

I just noticed the same thing, yesterday.  I thought it interesting, as well.

Also interesting to note they went back to the minimalist logo design. Though it's even more minimalist than the old one.

They made it "Facebook official" this morning. I posted a comment on how the bottom limb was facing the wrong direction on the new logo. My comment was swiftly silenced by the person who runs their social media. I am not sure if changing the orientation of the bottom limb was an oversight, or perhaps an artistic choice. Either way, I think the new logo is... serviceable.  ;)

lol, well they have to make it just different enough that they can justify their fee instead of basically just using an old logo. I love the retro simplicity though - reminds me of SDC in the 90's. Good times.

I would love to see some retro items in the gift shops featuring the 1970's logo. I think SDC is missing a merchandising opportunity there.

I like the new logo MUCH better than the 2010's logo. I never cared for that one!

Wow I just found the Outlaw Run "soundtrack" on youtube!  The loop of western theme songs they play in the queue line- enjoy!  Yeehaw!

There are 70s retro items in the Ozarks Marketplace.

According to their multiple responses to it, it was artistic.

the branch directions are meant to signify looking ahead to our future while looking back at our past simultaneously. There's no top or bottom on the log.

not sure anyone analyzes the logo that closely. except maybe the maker to justify the cost.....

It's always so entertaining to me to see what incredibly corporate and frankly BS reasons companies come up with to justify every single minor detail on their new logo lol
