logo history
Starbucks Corporation is a famous American global coffee giant founded in March 1971 by Jerry Baldwin, Gordon Bowker and Zev Siegl as a local coffee bean retailer.
Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, it is now the world’s largest coffeehouse
chain, with approximately 20,891 stores in 62 countries across the globe.
DESIGN ELEMENTS, HISTORY
AND EVOLUTION OF STARBUCKS LOGO
The Starbucks logo is widely regarded as one of the most
popular and instantly recognizable logos in history. This memorable emblem has
garnered broad worldwide recognition and several prestigious design awards.
The earliest version of the Starbucks logo was introduced
in 1971, based on a 15th century Norse woodcut. Let comprised of a circular
ring surrounding the mythical two-tail mermaid figure in a coffee brown color
palette. The design was intended to symbolize the overpoweringly attractive and
almost seductive quality of the coffee.
When Howard Schultz acquired Starbucks in 1987, the
corporate logo was significantly simplified and the bare breasts were covered
up by the mermaid’s flowing hair. Furthermore, the green color was introduced
so as to imply the growth, freshness, uniqueness and prosperity of the rapidly
developing brand.
The Starbucks logo underwent another overhaul in 1992,
when the image of the mermaid was given a close-up view and her navel
disappeared from the design.
