Ah, Starbucks. My morning ritual, my little pick-me-up, and the bearer of my much-needed caffeine dose as I hustle through the early hours. Clutching that familiar cup adorned with the iconic logo, I’ve lost count of the countless times it’s been my companion. But, here’s the kicker – did you know there’s a little secret hidden in that logo we’ve all come to recognize and love? Yeah, I was just as surprised!
Let’s take a tiny step back and spill some beans on the Starbucks saga before diving into the juicy part. So, nestled in every cup is a siren, a figure straight out of the sea tales and myths, reminiscent of the enchanting characters from the likes of Herman Melville’s epic, Moby Dick. And guess what? The Starbucks moniker itself is a nod to this literary classic.
Now, onto the evolution of this mesmerizing logo. From its humble beginnings, the Starbucks emblem has undergone quite the transformation. Picture this: it started with a brown hue back in the day, only to dive into the iconic green sea in 1987. Fast forward to 1992, as Starbucks stepped onto the public stage, the logo got a chic, modern facelift. But hold your horses; the real game-changer came in 2011. This was when “Starbucks Coffee” bid adieu to the logo, shining the spotlight solely on our siren’s face, now more symmetrical, more…mysterious.
