Check your cup: Starbucks new packaging debuts

March 10th, 2011  |  by mykl  |  published in coffee, design

It’s Starbucks 40th anniversary this week. You may have noticed their Foursquare campaign aimed at spreading the love and giving away gift cards to a select number of folks who check in before Saturday. Their new branding also started appearing in stores this week.

Starbucks “new” logo leaves me cold

January 5th, 2011  |  by mykl  |  published in coffee, design

To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Starbucks unveiled today what they are calling their new logo. It’s really a just wordless version of their old logo, with a larger siren now in green. Apparently cropping is now considered logo design. As much as I’m a fan of their coffee, I’m not very impressed with this new [...]

I like my coffee hot, and offensive

May 24th, 2008  |  by mykl  |  published in coffee

Starbucks cups and their jackets have been sporting a new design for the roll-out of Pike Place Roast. Hearkening back to their roots (the first store was in Seattle’s Pike Place Market), they feature a version of the original Starbucks logo. The main figure, often mistaken for a mermaid in the modern logo, is actually [...]
