Imagine this logo plastered on every cup of Starbucks coffee, it could have been! The above photo is the original Starbucks logo. Undoubtedly, some marketing guru decided this just wasn't going to suit the mass market.The current Starbucks mermaid is a definitely a bit dull compared to this one.
The original Starbucks is located in Pike's Place Market in Seattle, WA. We spent the day touring through the shops and enjoying a great public market. Pike's Place is also home to the flying fish stand. I'm not sure if that's what it is actually called, but many of you may have seen the video segments on the guys who throw fish from one counter to another. It was fun watching them work and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. If you look closely in the photo below, you'll see a crab in mid-flight. The other photos are taken from around the Market and are fairly self explanatory.
For those who don't know, we got back into town last Wednesday, so these posts are a bit of a retrospective. Since we've been back we've been settling in and enjoying some downtime.
