Cincy Lights

Well, it happens every year, with all the hustle and bustle to get through the Holidays and afterwards there is a bit of a letdown. Family goes on about their lives and you do too. We go nearly two months merry-going and celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas, then there is only the cold loneliness of Winter, where we just try to get through til Spring.

The lights that once helped make the season bright are dark now and It's been too cold and snowy to take down the Christmas light, but they'll be coming down soon, packed away until we get to do it all again.

There is the very lovely sunny afternoons like today, where the sun is warm and bright, these days are actually quite pleasant and make Winter somehow tolerable. I don't know if it's lack of sunlight or just missing my family, I just know I'm tired of Winter, so bring on the sun and bring on the warmth that makes the flowers bloom. Just take away this snow and need to wrap myself head to toe in wool when I go outside!!

Heres to sunny blue skys and more frequent visits with the family!!

I've been thinking about this new logo and already many have some very opinionated views on the logo, but even with some strong thoughts on the new design, I think it speaks to how much people feel connected to something as simple as a cup of coffee.

I said in my last post that I felt the logo would look better as a sepia tone siren, so I took the graphics from Starbucks site and did a little color alteration.

New Design:

Well, it seems Starbucks decided to revamp the corp logo when it celebrates it's 40th anniversary. I for one wished the logo was the muted brown sepia tones of the original. It would have given you a little of that old school we haven't forgotten our roots, but updated the corporate brand, which is the goal.

I do also wonder how much it cost them and if this translates to yet another price hike for your morning caffeine fix.
