Starbuck - Evil much?


Starbuck, the famous and well-known brand all over the world now has become a necessity for people to buy their product. Even a few of my friends are fond of the coffee made by the company, but unfortunately coffee isn't really my thing, so I have missed out the amazing taste made by Starbuck for all this years. When my friend spend a little time at the shop, I sometimes wonder, what on earth the logo means? Nor, who is the women exist in the logo? I have kept the question to my myself for 5 years, and today, I have realize that logo isn't as nice as the taste of coffee made by them (i just assume the coffee rocks because lot of people drinks it, so yeah =) ).




When you see that Starbucks logo, you probably think the same thing as me:  "There's that 'smiling mermaid' logo, there must be some good, but overpriced, coffee nearby", or perhaps "There's that evil Starbucks corporation that's helping to destroy the world". Either way, you're right.

 Let's cut the ranting, and straight to the real meaning of picture shall we? From my background reading, I have found that  the logo actually resembles Siren, the creature from the Greek myth. 

Who is Siren? Is she good? Noooooooooo, unfortunately she's not, well that's what I was told from certain article. In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous creatures, portrayed as femme fatales who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.

Does the action done by Siren seems familiar to you? In Starbuck's case, they charm us with the amazing taste of the coffee but silently the money is then transferred to weapon funding, well, for nuclear weapon perhaps? (It's only a rumor, which is not spread by me. Tq)


The Old Logo, which is far evil-looking.
Also notice that the mermaid's wavy hair forms a sort of mirrored 333/333, or "666".  Her hair also resembles the waves of the ocean (Pisces, Aquarius, Atlantis).  The mermaid forms a fancy "peace sign" as well.  The peace sign, of course, doesn't really symbolize peace at all, it is an ancient rune symbolizing death, also known as the Broken Cross, the Crow's Foot, and the Witch's Foot, and used on Nazi graves.

This post might seems quite bias, but I'm just sharing what I have discovered. No hard feeling and i didn't force you to stop drinking coffee at Starbuck, but it's just that I wanted to inform you relation of one thing to another. Happy drinking =)
