cyandlux Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think this is for employees only. They only wanted a logo and then the design department is going to fill in the rest. whacha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiasco! Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Looks kinda gay. Seriously, though...I like the foam and the colors. The only thing I can think of that's wrong is the cup. It's rendered well and the shadow is fantastic, but I don't ever remember getting my coffee in an actual mug at Starbucks. Not that it should matter at all, because I've never seen a Siren at Starbucks either, but they have one in their logo. LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 You have to ask for it in a "for here mug" and you can get one...they also have glasses for frappucinos. not using paper will help the environment, but they never tell you that theyre available. Most of the time people dont stay, so they dont use a mug anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 You might want to try to match the curve at the bottom left of the rainbow to match up with the curvature of the mug itself. It's a slight difference at the moment, but it's just off enough to draw my attention there. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keebe Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 When did Satrbucks start selling coffee in soup bowls? And how will the soup bowl keep from tipping over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandaguy87 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 So... what's the contest for? Is this supposed to be for some kind of internal LGBT support campaign (though knowing Starbucks, and the reputation of coffee people being pretentious liberals who accept the LGBT community anyway, makes it kind of unnecessary), or are they being gutsy and doing like a national campaign of support (and can get away with it because of their reputation)?

StefOn Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 While the cup is fine, I think a paper cup would work better. Maybe even that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Its for GayPride. My friend works at headquarters in Seattle...I dont know really who its for, just Seattle? Just headquarters? Just Gay people? No clue. If it is national more power to em!PS thats what the cup looks like. maybe I should flatten the bottom a bit...tactful C&C please.Starbucks new slogan:Mmmmm I can taste the gay!

BBTV Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The way the gradiant goes over both the cup and handle makes it look extremely 2 dimentional. I see that it is slightly lighter on the handle, but I don't think it looks like it would in reality.

georgie6543 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I like the one in a paper cup more, it just says "Starbucks" more than the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloPoErich Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I like the mug better myself... The colors say Starbucks more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I like where you're going with that...I would try to just abandon the rainbow itself, and actually make the foam the colour of the rainbow, using six layers of it.As for the mug, I think it looks equally good with the paper cup, no real preference.But I'd like to see another type of mug (as well, just to compare), the "Official" SB one:If you keep the Cappucino one, try adding a saucer for authenticity.Overall great concept. @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjet88 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 The rainbow colors are horrible. I like the idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The rainbow colors are horrible. I like the idea though.What do you mean???The colours ARE "THE" colours, nothing much a designer could do about that...They've been adopted by a community, good luck changing them... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to use those colors, then you have to. Nothing can be done about it.So put my comments before aside about the colors. I'll say it again though, I do like the idea.

averyj Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'd make the rainbow swirl more elongated, right now it looks kind of cramped. You know, I rarely visit ccslsc anymore. I really should fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 If, or when, they include script and other design elements I think it will look fine. Its out of my hands now....I gave them the AI file so.....they can change it if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
