Honestly, Starbucks Zombies wouldn't care about the Logo in about a week or two and continue to indulge in the crack infested product.  | |

Besides, we've been having "Now, get more for the same price!" things for the last 10 years. Why not shrink instead of hiding price increases?

With all these new trendy artsy idiots saying "less is more." I wouldnt be surprised if in a few years its just gonna say [starbucks.] on the cup. Logos will be extinct.

If they were going to Save money like some suggested they'd be better off just printing a smaller logo on the cup instead (it would probably look better and more modern too)
the next iteration will probably just be the face+crown

black coffee doesn't taste anything like pure sugar until you start requesting for this and that, so really who's to blame?

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.

rebranding is a real touchy thing espeically in a market like north america. alot of people identify with the brand more than the product.
as for the gap logo, the new logo actually looks quite good, but thats not the logo people identify with the gap. for that logo to work it would have to be on a new line.
