| New Starbucks Logo
How do you guys feels about the new take on the logo? Gap round 2 or a clean modern revamp? http://www.starbucks.com/preview |

Simple and clean, I really like it! 
Anyone know when they will start using these cups? I went to Starbucks today and got the old cup.

I like it; clean, modern, simple, but still very clearly starbucks.
I have a feeling switching to a single colour has to do with saving money.

I think its a landmark logo for their company. Starbucks has become such a large international franchise that they no longer need to advertise words to signify that it's a cup of coffee by them, they just need the siren from now on. Kind of like the Nike Checkmark or the Coca Cola bottle silhouette.

really modern/urban usually the people that like that style is people in their 20s, and i guess thats the age group there targeting. Really smart move.

To be honest, I don't go often enough to immediately know that it would be a Starbucks cup... Posted via RS Mobile | |

All they did was enlarge the centre of the old logo and make it green.
Fuck I want to be their logo designer, get paid for doing jack shit.

i personally prefer starbucks as a giant corporate mammoth tho lol Posted via RS Mobile | |

I like it better, only because I've always thought the logo was way too busy.
If you compare with many other company logos, they're usually quite plain...
Although many logos are just simply their company name written in a stylized way.
Starbucks is big enough so everyone already knows them by logo, without needing the text
in the logo.
I never knew about the new GAP logo change, but really... I could care less.
I googled up on it and I can't believe how many customers are even crying over it.
Saying things like "I'll never shop at GAP again"
Like wtf, either they liked the GAP logo so much that they expected it to be plastered
all over their clothing (hence why a new logo change would mean a different design on the clothing),
or they're just trying too hard to find a reason to cry.
Can you imagine people NOT going to starbucks anymore just because the design on their
disposable cup changed?

The first time I saw it, I didn't like it. Now that I've seen it a few times, it's fine.
It's like everything else in life. Change is hard, but I welcome it.
I think the chick needs bigger boobs, since we live in the silicone age. Now that change was hard to take........ seeing boobs so full and bigger than life. Before implants were invented, tits were..........nvm. I promised to change in the New Year.
must find god...........
