Bet you didn't know that!
We all recognise this logo, don't we?
Yes, this is Starbucks! The familiar Mermaid with 2 tails.
However, in Saudi Arabia, it's a different story.
Some Starbucks outlets in Saudi bear a different logo altogether. It’s a crown, minus the Mermaid.
This is because the mermaid apparantly shows too much skin whereas women in Saudi aren't allowed to show skin. Hence, the logo is now a crown over some waves. Also, it’s forbidden in Islam (as mentioned by fellow Islam followers in the comments section) that images & drawings of living things are prohibited.
