The Great Cracker Barrel Kerfuffle: We’re Talkin’ About a Logo?

That unsettling moment when you enter a gathering, even with an invite in hand, and suddenly feel like an outsider—like you stumbled into a space not meant for you. You feel exposed, uncertain, as if everyone’s eyes are on you, questioning your presence.
