Below are photos of a Starbucks store in downtown San Francisco near Market Street and New Montgomery St. I was there recently, taking a break from walking around and browsing through a bagful of books I had gotten at the Alexander Book Co. around the corner.
At some point I looked up and glanced straight at the big Starbucks logo hanging in the window. Something right away struck me as odd. It was one of those subliminal occult symbolism “I see Jesus in my burnt toast” moments. The twin-tailed mermaid in the logo here looks remarkably like a stylized portrait of Michael Jackson. The comparison with the official Starbucks logo below clearly shows the differences (i.e. eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth) that create this strange likeness.
