McDonald’s Golden Arches are an iconic symbol of the fast food chain and are recognisable all around the world.
Though the vast majority of the approximately 45,000 McDonalds outlets around the world share the Golden Arch symbol, there is one location that boasts a different logo.
In Sedona, Arizona the arches are actually coloured blue and there is a good reason why.
In 1998 when a local business owner wanted to open a branch of McDonald’s, the local authority deemed the shining yellow arches a distraction from the beauty of the setting.
Sedona is known for its desert landscapes and red rocky canyons which appear to glow brilliant orange and red when basked in the rays of the rising sun.
Teal was highlighted as a compromise as it matched the mall located next door.
Now the logo still stands as the only non-yellow McDonald’s sign in the world.
It isn’t just the colour of the logo that is different from other McDonald’s restaurants around the world.
According to Oddity Central, the usual height of the sign was prohibited under the town rules as well, so it sits much lower down than usual as well.
Though tourists may be drawn to the area due to its natural beauty, many also love the novelty of the McDonald’s there and take the opportunity to snap photos in front of the sign.
McDonald's has been more open in recent years to playing with its logo particularly for marketing campaigns.
In Paris and Brussels, white arches can be seen alongside the traditional gold.
