According to About.com, the above images were created using a website called the Fast Food Sign Generator. (The site is currently down.) Yep, they’re apparently fakes.

Though the KFC and McDonald's signs supporting Chick-fil-A are fun, they are also fake.

“@snopes: Photograph purportedly shows a McDonald's sign expressing support for Chick-fil-A.http://t.co/OoDGfbSQ #UrbanLegends” It's fake!
