That truck will come in handy in the bayou!
Could they have chosen a worse typeface? Have to be two feet from it to read it. I get what they were going for but old-skool Imagineers would have actual hand-painted script lettering.
That looks era accurate. Tiana's looks far too modern in its execution. A better choice would have been a franken-Studebaker pickup with wooden side rails, crates of produce, a flat paint choice and the previous mentioned hand-painted signage and logo.
Tiana's truck though, it's a choice but it feels anachronistic.

I still don't really agree. I posted a picture of a farm truck, which has the open back and wood railing. But there are also definitely delivery trucks from the 1920s that looked exceptionally close to this. Even the 1910s had some similar looking ones. This genuinely does not look out of place to me at all for a mid-late 1920s vehicle. I've got old family pictures from this era with trucks quite like this one and have seen some in person in museums. I really don't have any problem with it.

Was it removed another time before this?

Looks so much better without it. Hopefully they address the the other barn next.

Aha! So they do read this thread! I knew the "To Kill A Mockingbird" gif would be effective!

Now if they can address the Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fence, The signage, barn mural placement, etc...

When they plastered this logo all over the construction walls I assumed it was a temporary placeholder in a misguided attempt to market the attraction.
But I appear to have been wrong, and it's a permanent part of the attraction. But it looks woefully out of place. It looks like cheap digital art. It should look hand drawn at minimum, due to the period the attraction takes place. I guess to me it doesn't look like a 1920s logo- it looks like a logo in the style of a 1920s logo.

I agree with the logos looking bad. They actually had a somewhat more attractive looking one at one point too, which was seen on the water tower on the old 3D render for WDW's version of the ride (they ended up using the one on the DL model instead)-
Bit of a different and more elaborate design on the tiara as well.

I also like the motto better on this one.

We will learn more during Season 1, Episode 6: The Tax Audit
Apparently, an IRS agent will warn Tiana that he has friends on the other side who she will meet if she doesn’t stop paying under the table.

For anyone curious, that truck is definitely a Ford Model A Panel truck, and could be anywhere between a 1928-1931 model. It could be another body style variant that has the side spare wheel from anywhere in the market and modified/extended it to give it a delivery truck look, because those Panel trucks are very hard to find. Also based on how she's steering with people pushing the car, my hunch is there's no actual engine in the car (maybe this is obvious) but at least the steering mechanism is still in place. and that horn is SPOT ON, that aooogah sound is as iconic as these cars! Maybe this forum doesn't care that much, but a very cool surprise for me as I grew up working on a 1929 Ford Model A with my dad and granddad. It's a shame they painted over the Ford logo but ugh this car is beautiful. No comment on the graphics...
Very interested to see if they have one for Disneyland too, and if they were able to source two identical or close to identical frames to match!

Out of curiosity, do vintage car enthusiasts shudder at stuff like this? Having antiques repainted and displayed in an amusement park instead of professionally restored and preserved in a museum?
This is the sort of thing where it might be better to custom fabricate the vehicle if only to preserve history.
