New McDonald's spin-off restaurant branding is out of this world

McDonald's has been sneakily building a brand new spin-off restaurant with an out-of-this-world theme. The new establishment named 'CosMc's', has appeared in Bolingbrook, Illinois and until now has been kept under wraps – but recent images of the new building have garnered a mixed response online.

As of now, it's unclear how CosMc's will compare to McDonald's existing chains but from the theming alone, it looks like we're in for a blast from the past. This new design is certainly a change from what we've seen before, but McDonald's iconic golden arches still remain one of the best logos of all time
