Group finds Starbucks logo too hot to handle

[Washington]

A Christian group based in San Diego found grounds for outrage over the new retro-style logo.

Seems that one person's smut is another person's morning latte.

A Christian group based in San Diego found grounds for outrage over the new retro-style logo for Starbucks Coffee.

The Resistance says the new image "has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute," Mark Dice, founder of the group, said in a news release. "Need I say more? It's extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]bucks."

Someone might want to clue them in on the basic difference between human and fish anatomy.

From HERE

"Terry [Heckler] also poured over old marine books until he came up with a logo based on an old sixteenth-century Norse woodcut: a two-tailed mermaid, or siren, encircled by the store’s original name, Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spice. That early siren, bare-breasted and Rubenesque, was supposed to be as seductive as coffee itself."
​

Yeah, those filthy minded sixteenth-century Norsemen.

Well I don't really like the new logo. I thought the old one was much better. My not liking the new logo isn't because she looks like a prostitute (it is an interesting pose I must admit) but because I just don't get it. Is she supposed to be a mermaid or something?

Oh for crying out loud, this reminds me of how the statues were covered up in DC for Ashcroft. Do these people ever look at Renaissance Christian art? They'd have heart failure! LOL!!

I don't even drink Starbucks and now I'm tempted to over this ridiculous nonsense.

Some people need to get lives. Like, they really, really need to get lives.

This is the old logo The green logo is the new one. I think they have the original logo again because they're selling the original Pike's Place market at all the stores at the moment when it's previously been limited only to the original shop.

I don't have a problem with the logo.

Apparently not...

At the moment, Tully's is having a contest about who can enter the longest drink order. I think they're donating a dollar to a charity for every submission or something. I usually order Chai, so I've never had to make a complicated order....

I feel sorry for Mark Dice, since apparently he is unable to tell the difference between a naked woman, and mermaid.

Also looking at there old/new/old logo images, they appear to be the same creature, just zoomed in a little for the new old one
and a different drawing style.
