"In 1971, a coffee upstart called Starbucks sought a symbol to represent its brand. After poring \u2014 or pouring, for the pun-inclined \u2014 over vintage maritime texts, they discovered an eye-catching 16th century twin-tailed mermaid. The Siren, as she's known in Starbucks lingo, has since graced the coffee giant's products, though she has undergone a few changes.\nThe original brown, bare-chested Siren has evolved to a less naked and more streamlined green look. While Starbucks will likely stick to the same direction on the logo for the near future, that hasn't dissuaded artists from revamping her look.\nSee also: 7 Things You Didn't Know About Starbucks\nOn DeviantArt, creative artists shared their interpretations of the splashy java icon. The looks vary more than Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Peppermint Mochas, ranging from anime-styled to Disney-inspired.\n\n\nStarbucks Mermaid Reimagined\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt mermaid-kalo\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt princesspeachfangirl\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt tursiart\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt mikemen1991\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt kathrynlillie\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt cmarino\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt broseidon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt louistrations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt fiori-party\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: DeviantArt doton-element\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHomepage image: DeviantArt, tursiart, Used with permission.
