I was gonna make a joke that it's also an idea that's on so many street corners and coffee cups. However after googling I found out that it's a siren on the Starbucks logo and not a mermaid. My joke fails on both humour and fact.

What is a siren, but a mermaid?

[โ€“] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

there are different depictions of sirens. most commonly they are depicted as creatures similar to harpies. the mermaid form is second most common i think.
