how did starbucks get its logo?

Answer 1

They knew they were going to charge so much for a cup of coffee, that only a movie star could afford it ! Hence the name star---- bucks $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Answer 2

The company logo is a "twin-tailed mermaid, or siren as she's known in Greek mythology".[6] The logo has been streamlined over the years. In the first version, the Starbucks siren had bare breasts and a fully-visible double fish tail. In the second version, her breasts were covered by hair, but her navel was still visible, and the fish tail was cropped slightly. In the current version, her navel and breasts are not visible at all, and only vestiges remain of the fish tails. The original logo can still be seen on the Starbucks store in Seattle's Pike Place Market and on Starbucks Anniversary Blend 1 lb coffee bags.

At the beginning of September 2006, Starbucks temporarily reintroduced their original brown logo on paper hot beverage cups. Starbucks has stated that this was done to show the company's heritage from the Pacific Northwest and to celebrate 35 years of business, however the vintage logo has sparked some controversy due to the siren's bare chest.[7] Recently, an elementary school principal in Kent, Washington was reported as asking teachers to "cover up" the mermaid of the retro cups with a cup sleeve of some kind.

Answer 3

The original creators chose the siren because in Greek Mythology, it was the Sirens who drew in the sailors because of their beauty and their singing. The sailors would never want or were able to leave. Starbuck's wanted to draw people in just like the Sirens!

Also, the name Starbuck's comes from the coffee loving character Starbuck in Moby Dick.
