Lucky, do you now where that logo came from? Carved capitals from late Romanesque/Early Gothic Benedictine monasteries! And no, no one knows quite what they meant, if anything.
The link to the article had not one, but two ads for the new Indiana Jones movie, and juxtaposed with the David, well...(*blushes*)
I'm sure prurient teenaged boys will all run out and buy Starbucks every day of the week now.

Oh my goodness, I wish I had known that and told Lucky about it. That makes The Resistance's resistance to the logo doubly embarrassing.
Ah..the whole art vs porn debate..
Sorry Lucky but I have to take the opposide side of this..
Maybe because I was born and raised on the Left Coast...but I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with that logo... the siren really isn't THAT pretty, and she looks like she's in dire need of a SERIOUS boob lift...
And if our fine upstanding men find that logo a major turn-on then they need to find some serious psychiatric help..
Now your friend David on the other hand..is he available for coffee?? 
Those aren't legs, they're fish tails.
And seriously, if you find yourself thinking immodest thoughts when gazing at a mermaid's tail, then brother, seek professional help rapidly.
Of all the things to complain about, they choose this? There's got to be easily fifty underwear/perfume ads on billboards that are way more immodest and degrading. Making Christians look not only like prudes, prigs and sex-obsessed prodnoses, but idiots with it - thanks, guys!
Doesn't anyone else find it disturbing that this poor mermaid is a double tailed mutant?
Yep.. Spreading her tails??? One tail per mermaid, so what we have is the tragic results of atomic tests in the fifties...
At least she does not look like Godzilla...

Uh oh...
"The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute," explains Mark Dice, founder of the group."
Okay, has anybody ever heard of this allegedly 3,000 strong Christian group? Is this guy for real, or is it perchance some kind of hoax?
I am more disturbed by the thought of Mr. Dice slavering over the image, thinking "Prostitute! Slut! Strumpet! With her legs splayed like that, making me entertain immodest thoughts!" than by the image itself.
Woah, there, boy. You think her tail is like legs? Any woman - mermaid or no - who could do the splits like *that* with her lower limbs would either have a job in a circus as a contortionist, or be going for the Olympics in gymnastics, not wasting her time walking (swimming?) the streets.
I was just thinking - any male so desperate as to be turned on by Mr. Dice's description of the new logo ("a naked woman...with her legs spread like a prostitute") is going to be SO disappointed when he rushes out to Starbucks for a quick cup of coffee and a good ogle, only to be met with our mermaid lassie
I think Xena nailed it--makes us look sex-obsessed and stupid.
I've been thinking lately about the New Atheists who are fond of claiming Christians are by definition stupid. The typical Christian response is to list off names of Christians who are obviously quite intelligent. One thing that always strikes me is that no one on those lists is still alive today. Since we Christians today are doing our darndest to sound stupid, it's no surprise that some of our critics actually call us stupid.
OK, clearly SOMEONE here needs a good smiting; but d*mn*d if I know who to smite!
Does a mermaid with two tails (atomic mutant power activate!) swim twice as fast?
Y'know, if Starbucks have changed the logo to "show off more mermaid", who is their target audience?
Who are they trying to appeal to? Does this mean they are opening a branch in Atlantis?
Has Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, bought them out?
Will Aquaman be a shareholder?
Will mysteriously piscine or batrachrian-looking folk from small New England maritime towns be the new employees?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I'm pretty sure that was a fairly common artistic convention for portaying mer-people. At least, I'm fairly certain Reubens used it.
