simple and clean they probably removed the wordmark because the base logo is already so well known. now when the signs change and people travel its exactly the same everywhere no words to translate on a sign. imo.
its like pepsi 
it dosent say pepsi but we all know its pepsi

I don't mind Tim Horton's coffee, but with their routine price increases I've switched to Starbucks. I prefer the taste of Starbucks coffee and I find the service is much better, so I don't mind paying an extra .25 cents; especially if I'm planning on staying to drink my coffee there.

There's more psychological factors in enlarging that portion of the logo than you think!

i think starbucks doesnt want to be seen as ONLY coffee anymore, since they are involved in many other products now
besides, their logo is easily recognizable so the words are needed, most brands head towards this trend anyways, they are popular enough to have just a logo to represent them
i like it, its cleaner, ppl just need to get used to it

honestly, if you you just showed me the new cup without telling me it was the new startbucks logo i wouldn't know what it was. i recognize the starbucks logo by the ring with STARBUCKS and ... whatever it says on the bottom. not by the squiggly lines in the middle which I now know are some sort of a girl?

looks like shit. and honestly without the words, i wouldnt knw thats starbucks. I dont think their mermaid logo is unique and well known enough to represent the brand without any text. it's not something super recognizable like the nike swoosh or the apple logo.
