Yum Brands will change Dallas Banh Shop's red star logo after complaints
In a letter posted on the Banh Shop Facebook page, Yum Brands Senior Vice President apologized to the Vietnamese community for the design, announcing that the company would change the logo and remove the red star from all materials and signage from the restaurant by the end of the day.
Again, one has to wonder how the hell they came up with this logo in the first place, without doing the proper research. You're telling me nobody was aware that this could be a problem? Not smart.
