the "slutty siren" logo is a 35th anniversary, limited edition logo, not a permanent change. it is the original logo used when Starbucks was a one-store coffee shop in Seattle's Pike Place Market. Those of us from Seattle find that old logo, with its less politically correct graphics, rather refreshing.
