What is the Starbucks logo called and does it have meaning?

The siren(sometimes referred to as a mermaid, but is more likely to be a melusine since it has two tails) in the Starbucks logo changed over the years, to avoid giving offense. In the first version she had naked breasts and a fully visible double fish tail. In the second, streamlined version, the breasts were covered by hair, but the navel was still visible, and the fish tail was cropped slightly. In the current version, the navel is not visible, and only vestiges remain of the fish tails. The original logo may still be seen on the Starbucks store in Seattle's Pike Place Market.

Yes, I suppose you are right the Flag is the brand for that nation, unit, or cause.\n\nThis site covers the US Federal Flag Code:  http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html#173\n\nUnlike a normal brand or logo which can be placed on almost anything their are specific rules on where the flag can be used.

It's legal if they say it is or give you permission for the use.  \n\nYou can go to the website of the company and check their licensing/terms of use regarding their logo. \n\nFor example, click here to see legal information from Pepsi web page: http://www.pepsiworld.com/help/legal/index.php \n\nIf you don't want to or can't get permission from the company to use the logo, and it is not integral to the guidebook, just blur it out.

To add on to Soplaw's answer, I find it interesting that the symbol has become more "G" rated over the past decade or so.  It used to have nipples (it is a female after all), but Starbucks got rid of that.  A few years later, they got rid of the belly button.  (How controvertial!) \n\nTo Starbucks employees like myself, it's known as the "Siren," and builds off of the sea-faring/water theme that the company built off of.    A siren was a woman/monster whose beauty or song (depending on the legend) was enough to attract sailers to inadvertantly crash their ships into the rocks on the Siren's island.  Thus we have coffee and caffeine luring people back time and time again, though I'm proud to say that no one has crashed their car into any of my stores. \n\n(Furthermore, Starbucks gets it's name from "Starbuck," Herman Melleville's coffee-drinking sea man in "Moby Dick.")\n\nHope that helped!

The ™ symbol is to be used for marks that either have a pending trademark application OR for marks that are simply claiming the rights to the mark.\n\nThe ® symbol is to be used for marks that have a Federally registered trademark.\n\nTrademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry. Of course, it's necessary to research the mark comprehensively prior to filing to ensure that there is no possibility of infringing upon another party. \n\nAnd to be sure to clear this issue up...\n\nThe © symbol is used to denote copyright ownership.\n\nCopyrights can be obtained for things of an artistic nature. This includes, of course, poetry, films, sculptures, music, fiction, etc. But can also include things that may not necessarily seem "artistic" in the general sense of the word. Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few. \n\nI posted some links below in case you wanted to know more. Hope that helps!
