Unless you have been living under a rock since the 1970’s, you have certainly heard of the Seattle-based, world-famous, coffee company and its mermaid of a logo. Why a mermaid, you may ask. Well, Starbucks was named after a nautical character, the mermaid was designed to reflect an image of a siren from a 16th century Nordic woodcut (and if you’re wondering when mermaids and sirens got confused as being the same creature, read this.)
