Brands RSC 1900 Colonel Sanders Lane Louisville, KY 40213 Dear Mr. Jones: My name is Hannah Lee, a Vietnamese American and a long-time participant in the growth and development of the Vietnamese community in Arlington, Texas. I am aware that your franchise is now opening a new banh mi concept restaurant in Dallas, Texas. This is exciting news. Thanks to your company, the Vietnamese community in North Texas will soon enjoy a taste reminiscent of home, yet I noticed your restaurant’s logo includes a communist symbol. This will unquestionably offend your base clientele and economically damage your business. When your restaurant opened on September 12, I couldn’t help but notice your logo design: a five-pointed red star situated behind the words “BANH SHOP” (see enclosure). According to the history of Vietnam, the five-pointed red star represents communism. During the battles between the Northern and Southern regions, communist North Vietnam intentionally chose the single-star shape to denote a unified political power suggesting all people regardless of will, belief, and culture should think and act similarly. Using a single star with sharp edges projecting from a center point, the communists promoted singularity in culture, and like communist China and Russia, chose red to symbolize cultural and political power over democratic regions such as South Vietnam. In short, your logo’s red star represents communist propaganda, a psychological reminder to many Vietnamese American refugees, like my parents, of their suffering under the brutal communist regime. Please consider how many of your customers are refugees or children of refugees from the Vietnam War. If you were Jewish, would you go to a Jewish restaurant displaying a swastika symbol? To some, my comments may seem extreme because a red star can symbolize anything. For example, Macy’s department store uses a red star; however, Macy’s is an American based department store and does not intend to perpetuate communism, so no one is offended by Macy’s logo. Your company, on the contrary, opened a Vietnamese concept restaurant near the second highest population of Vietnamese Americans in Texas. Obviously, you intend to sell your brand to Vietnamese customers, so commercializing communism is not a wise marketing choice. In addition, the words “Saigon Street Food” appear below your logo. According to Vietnamese history, “Saigon” was the capital of the independent republic of Vietnam. Why are you pairing a communist symbol with a republic title? This contradiction may instill skepticism in your customers as they struggle to understand the meaning behind your confusing message. If your company fails to understand Vietnamese history, then your customers may believe your company fails to understand Vietnamese food. They will choose other restaurants, and your franchise will not financially survive. Rather than repel customers, I believe your restaurant has the potential to attract and perhaps strengthen the Vietnamese community in North Texas. Imagine customers driving into Dallas to experience a taste of home while connecting with old friends and relatives. Your restaurant can be a hub for building relationships and celebrating culture, generating business while providing a public service. This is only possible if your logo is warm, inviting, and inclusive. I applaud you for bringing Vietnamese street food to Dallas, but I also caution you to choose a more politically neutral symbol or at least choose a different color for your existing star. Revising your logo will ensure confidence in your customer base and your restaurant’s success.
