In 2006, Starbucks temporarily revived this logo with some modifications in northwestern U.S. stores for their 35th anniversary, [1] and again in 2008 for the launch of Pike Place Roast coffee, this time nationally.[2]
On January 5, 2011, Starbucks unveiled a new logo which omitted the ring altogether; the siren in the circle thus became the entire logo, and was recolored in green as well. The logo was reported to be introduced in March to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary.
The design work was done internally at Starbucks with outside help from Lippincott. This logo won first place in the 2011 Brand New Awards.
