BTW, Americano Misto with free syrup comes to about $2.60 after tax if you use an SB Card. There's ways to get your money's worth there.

New Starbucks logo isn't as bad as the new Gap logo which was pulled and replaced with the old one when people started going ape shit on it.  | |

Switching from serif to sans-serif cheapened the whole thing. The stock font combined with the stupid box makes it look like clip art.
A logo change can be a good thing. Expensive to roll out across a chain, but the amount of PR you can get is high. We're all talking about Starbuck's right now.

We're all talking about Starbuck's right now. | A majority of company logotypes/fonts are being phased out to accommodate the digital age. They want their logotypes/fonts on their marketing material to be in sync with the common web font Verdana on their websites so everything remains consistent.
See IKEA's strategy of phasing out their original IKEA Sans/Futura font to Verdana: http://www.nowpublic.com/style/ikea-...hanged-and-why
Gap's attempt to modernize their logo was a disaster. They should have kept it simple keeping iconic blue box and just switched the serif types to a sans-serif Verdana like font instead of introducing a whole new visual that was too drastic.

I still don't get the whole idea of why people are making such a big deal about
logo changes for well established brands.
There's a huge fanbase, and it's not like people (should) buy stuff just because of a logo.
If you're a new company, then maybe the logo needs to be good to attract people.
I can understand the Tropicana juice box, but that's not a logo anyway.

i actually did the same thing at the store one time. i was looking for orange juice, probably tropicana, and didnt see it until i did a second look. then when i did see the tropicana it looked like they had cheapened it, not just the container, but the juice itself due to the new container. 
the old logo jumps out as being juicy and thirst quenching and refreshing. the new one makes it look dull and boring and generic. | ah ok, with the comparison of the old carton, it's quite clear now what this is all about lol...looks like generic supermarket brand now haha
