New Starbucks logo "slutty"
Gotta say, this makes me want to buy a coffee.
I mean surely, these people are in the pay of Starbucks, no?

Re: Slutbucks
On behalf of the 99.999% of the population who would have never noticed the slutty mermaid had her tails "spread like a prostitute", I'd like to thank The Resistance for making us aware of it. I just wish I liked coffee so I'd have a legitimate excuse to go to Starbucks and get my daily fix of porn.
What is it with coffee chains lately. First Dunkin' Donuts running the Rachel Ray-supports-terrorists ads and now this. Who's next? Tim Horton's hearing a Whooters? Juan Valdez snorting cocaine?

Re: Slutbucks
HERE is a blog-page, with pix, detailing the history of the Starbucks logo design, with input from the original designer. Interesting stuff.
I always thought the mermaid was holding 2 fish by their tails, not her own tail(s). And never quite 'got' the connection to coffee.
The Resistance is based near me in San Diego, and has a reputation for loudly objecting to anything having to do with exposed skin, naked bodies, or (whisper:) es ee ex. Nobody but the newspapers pay them any attention. Their calls for boycotts usually increase traffic to the businesses concerned.

Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

I always thought the 'new' logo that group is complaining about is much closer to the original label.
Oh, and we better make sure to keep those folks with way too much time on their hands away from the bikini clad baristas up around Seattle. On the other hand, it might be funny. And then tell them to ride the SLUT (South Lake Union Trolley - do no gov't officials look at acronyms anymore?) for a finale.

Re: Slutbucks
The new one looks like they took it out of an eighteenth-century advertisement. I kind of like it.
Requesting suggestions for new sig.

Dude, they didn't even do that in the 1930s.

Re: Slutbucks
What confuses me, is that the new logo claims they can roast coffee.... wuh? you roast potatoes, and various other edible foods, not drinks!

Coffee beans have to be roasted before coffee can be brewed from them.

Re: Slutbucks
The original logo was far better. It was more, um - original. And since when are a couple of bare breasts so incendiary? The new logo has no character at all.
Slutbucks it is, then.Through their own fault.

Re: Slutbucks
They have bikini-clad baristas in Seattle???? I've never seen them! Where?!?!? I must know, man!

Re: Slutbucks
That's a good point. The main thing that annoyed me about the story was the stupid "Christian" nutters, but now you mention it the fact that Starbucks are spending millions if not billions of dollars on such a pointless logo change is evidence in my book that the whole "corporations being more efficient" theory is a load of nonsense. The short-lived "Consignia" and the vastly expensive and totally pointless rebranding of "Abbey National" to "Abbey" spring to mind.

He's the only guy in Columbia still bothering with coffee. He'll get with the program eventually.
