The first version of the brown
trademark originated from a
16th century Scandinavian double-tailed mermaid carving
pattern,
she has naked breasts
and a fully visible double fish tail

Later, Starbucks was merged with the daily coffee founded by Mr. Howard Schotzian,
so it changed its brand name.
The trademark of the second
edition follows the original
mermaid pattern, but it has been modified a little
. She has no naked breasts,
and the trademark color has been changed to
Starbucks logo
green,
thus combining the original Starbucks
with the trademark of Daily Coffee
.
Starbucks' green logo is a two-tailed Poseidon image that looks like a mermaid.
This logo was designed by young Seattle designer Terry Hechler in 1971, inspired by
the medieval woodcut Poseidon. The beautiful mermaid image on the logo also conveys the dual meanings of primitive and modern: her face is simple, but
it is packaged in a modern abstract form, with black and white in the middle and
only surrounded by a circle of colors outside. When Starbucks created this logo twenty years ago, there was only
one coffee shop. Nowadays, the beautiful "green mermaid" has become a symbol of American culture together with
McDonald's "M".
It is not
difficult to see from the evolution of Starbucks logo that the mermaid is becoming more and more
subtle, and it is difficult to tell
her two-tailed version from the beginning of bare breasts to the later. And
the first big change (94th edition) is
like many implicit beauty photos
generally covering the mermaid's breasts with her hair
. It is said that
comes from customers' opinions. They
think that the image of mermaid is
aggressive, and there are too many
"sexual" seductive elements in it.
The fishtail, which feels like a split
leg, has been removed, and that posture
is really unsightly,
which is also the biggest
improvement of the current version.
This important change is said to be
from Quantum

Mr.
Michael
parent of p>design
is. He found that everyone was unhappy with the mermaid whose legs were
off, and then
took the initiative to find howard
schultz and submitted his own
modified design. Of course, he also made a lot of money for
this.
