Starbucks logo comedy time warp
Hope everyone is recovering nicely from the holiday weekend. During my recovery this morning, I came across an interesting Ad Age article on the controversy surrounding a change to the mermaid in the Starbucks logo. It seems Starbucks limited use of a modified version of their original mermaid logo is a little too risque for some folks.
Anyway, this naturally reminds me of one of my all-time favorite Onion articles -- "Starbucks To Begin Sinister 'Phase Two' Of Operation" -- which features the following choice cut:
Though the coffee chain's specific plans are not known, existing Starbucks franchises across the nation have been locked down with titanium shutters across all windows. In each coffee shop's door hangs the familiar Starbucks logo, slightly altered to present the familiar mermaid figure as a cyclopean mermaid whose all-seeing eye forms the apex of a world-spanning pyramid.
Ah, good times. (I think.)
