Ah, Starbucks—the morning savior for so many of us. That iconic cup we clutch holds not just caffeine but a surprising story hidden in its logo.
Here’s the scoop: the Starbucks emblem features a siren, a mythical sea creature, inspired by tales like those in Moby Dick. The name itself nods to the literary classic.
The logo’s journey is just as captivating. It debuted with a brown design, evolved into the signature green in 1987, and got a sleek update in 1992 as Starbucks went public. But the big twist came in 2011, when “Starbucks Coffee” was dropped, leaving just the siren’s face—symmetrical, striking, and full of mystery. Who knew your coffee cup had such a tale to tell?
