The founders wanted a logo that reflected Seattle’s maritime history (since coffee was originally shipped by sea). The siren symbolized:
☕ Seduction – Luring customers with irresistible coffee.
🌊 Nautical Roots – Tying the brand to seafaring trade.
🔮 Mystery & Allure – Making Starbucks feel like a special experience.

How the Logo Has Evolved Over Time

Year Logo Changes
1971 Original brown logo with detailed, topless siren.
1987 Simplified green logo, siren’s chest covered.
1992 Cropped closer, removing the siren’s navel.
2011 Further simplified—no text, just the siren in green.

Despite all the changes, the hidden face illusion remains intact!

Did You Know? Starbucks Almost Had a Different Name

Before settling on Starbucks, the founders considered naming the company:

  • Pequod (after Captain Ahab’s ship in Moby Dick)

  • Cargo House

  • Starbo (a mining term from Moby Dick)

Luckily, they went with Starbucks—inspired by the coffee-loving first mate, Starbuck, from the same novel.
