Starbucks to ditch name with new mermaid facelift
Starbucks Corp. is giving its siren a facelift. The world's largest coffee company unveiled a new logo Wednesday that drops the words encircling its iconic sea nymph and gives her a few subtle updates. Starbucks says the changes amount to more than nips and tucks to its favorite lady.

The new wordless logo also is better suited to the company's expansion beyond coffee into a wider array of business lines and into more international markets. Starbucks revealed the logo Wednesday to a cheering crowd of employees in its Seattle offices and on a webcast and plans to bring it to stores in March to coincide with the company's 40th anniversary.
