Starbucks
Changed with the times Despite the debate on their newest logo in the spring of 2011, regardless of what side you take, its apparent that whatever Starbucks is doing, its working. Over the last 40 years weve made some changes to identity. But the Siren has always been there. She is at the heart of Starbucks.

1. A Brand Should Have A Good Name and Logo A logo reflects your company.
Ex. many successful brands use real words (Adobe, Amazon, Apple, Yelp), some use misspelled words (Google), compounds (Facebook, Firefox, WordPress), phrases (LinkedIn, SecondLife) and other variations.
A good logo builds trust and a strong logo will help to pull your brand together.
When you start thinking about building your brand, ask yourself the following questions:
What do you hope to accomplish with your company? What do your customers and potential customers currently think of your company? What do you want your customers to think when they think of your company ? How do you differentiate yourself from your competitors?
The above questions are important not only for selecting a strong company name, but also for selecting a strong logo.

To build and maintain a strong brand, every aspect of your brand should be as good as your product or service and you must be consistent in presenting your brand to prospects and customers.
Ex. The Apple logo has changed numerous times since Apple was founded. However, Apples brand proposition to create innovative, high quality, great looking computer products has never changed.
