The Mermaid You Never Really Saw! 🧜🏻♀️
One of the most recognized logos in the world. Most people have never actually looked at her closely. 👀

You've seen this logo a thousand times. But have you seen her full body?
☕She's been on your cup for years. Chances are you've never seen what she looked like earlier.
1971: the original siren had two tails, fully exposed and looked way more mythical. 🧜🏻♀️
Coffee brown, hand-drawn and almost pagan in style. She looked like she belonged on an old maritime crest, not a coffee cup.
By 1987, she got cleaner. Lines simplified, details softened for mass production.
By 1992, she was cropped tighter for a bolder look. Less illustration, more icon. 🌟
2011: no more text. No "Starbucks Coffee" wrapped around her anymore.
Just her face. The brand had grown confident enough to drop the name entirely and still be recognized instantly. 🤎
What's the one logo redesign that stuck with you? Drop it in the comments. 🗨️
