The Changing Face of Starbucks - The History of the Logos Through the Years

I see it in a more ironic light. Starbucks seems to think that incorporating a redesign of its original logo, breasts et al, will return it to its roots. As roots go, however, I seem to remember being attracted to such things myself - from the ages of about zero to two. That is, before I discovered more serious eats. :)

I once went to Starbucks and found one of those cardboard sleeves without the logo!!! Stupid me, I forgot to save it. :( I should have taken a picture of it and me in the store.

I suppose I'll have to try this new coffee to see if it's really improved. The logo does not make the coffee, though.

"Fresh Roasted Coffee" as in fresh (brewed) coffee that's been roasted (since who knows when). Fresh is not describing the word roast.

I hope they don't really use the phrase "Fresh Roasted Coffee" on their new logo. It's "fresh brewed" but it would only be fresh roasted if you were at their roasting plant. If I recall correctly they use a "sell by" data (the actual roast date it is coded but it is on the label of their bagged coffee) that is six months after roast date. Anything beyond 10 - 14 days past roast date is not fresh roasted.

The final logo is like F but with the breasts covered with more mermaid hair.

@adrockuw: I got a cup of coffee at Starbucks last night and no, the Siren's hair is covering up her nipples. Of course that was the first thing I checked.
