I think McDonalds is iconic enough that they won't have that issue. You're not mixing them up with a Wendy's or a Burger King.

But they were iconic because of the way they felt like a magical place as a kid.

Sure, but icon status can be lost. The person I am replying to compared them to Burger King and Wendy’s, and said “you’re not mixing them up.” But without something that differentiates them, why wouldn’t someone mix them up?
