I’ve driven past a million times growing up here. Never noticed the Jesus fish on the sign until the other day. Googled the old signage and the fish was there, too??

I can’t be the only one that’s certain it was never there to begin with

it's part of the logo and even present on the website's logo online (the website logo is still changed for St Patrick's Day), always been that way

I am born and raised here and I feel pretty dumb for never noticing. I can’t be the only one and was wondering if there’s others

I used to work there twenty years ago and I don't recall it.

That said I wasn't the most observant teenager

I've been an avid hater of religion for my entire life and this is news to me. I've driven past that place a billion times too so you're not alone

I had the exact same thought as I passed it last night after work!

Worked there for several years it was on the logo the entire time I was there.

The real travesty is their menu packages. The last three are Shake, Roll, and Rattle in that order. The inhumanity.

It hasn't always been that way. I went back through emails and as of May 1, 2021, the fish was not included. I too Google old signage and found plenty of old images showing the Springfield location did not include the fish.

It is as there twenty years ago when I worked there. Very distinctly remember Rick bringing it up when they were getting ready to expand.

I don't know, I'm just going off of emails I have and older pictures of local signs online where it wasn't there. It may have been in use in some form, but it wasn't included on everything and I could see why people would miss it if that's the case.

Editing to say that after someone pointed it out, it was there, but was more hidden and not as obvious as it is now.

They may also have decided to use a simplified logo on emails as opposed to the full logo on the sign.

Google maps give old dates too. It used to be a different sign with the fish vertical and not obvious at the bottom of the design. The signs changed and now it's a super obvious thing.

I went there at least 12 years ago and it was on the doors. I know for certain because my dad commented on it every time we went 🙄 Maybe it’s just on select signs/places/logos.

Nobody in this thread is being hateful towards Christianity, you just have a persecution fetish.

Except this has been a hate free discussion. Someone just noticed something for the first time and is asking if anyone else remembers if it was or wasn't there in the before times.

Can you show me anywhere in this thread where people are hating on Christians? Or are you insistent on being a victim for some reason?

You are fighting a loosing losing battle.

Or maybe not, they listened and edited their comment.

It's as if both sides do it though. If I had a restaurant you passed with my satanic symbols do you think the Christian community would just be all well and good with it? You complain that others have a problem with ideology that isn't theirs. Isn't that what is expected of religious populations when someone has an opposing ideology. That's been my experience.

I think that everyone can have their own opinions, they can share those opinions, but when you do you should be ready for others to disagree. Just because you don't understand doesn't make it wrong.

And yes, if I have the choice I don't contribute my money to those who flaunt their religions within their business because why do I need a Jesus fish with pizza? Fish does not belong on pizza.
