Set the Wayback Machine to Victorian England

So this weeks assignment was to recreate the starbucks logo in Victorian style.  I did a bit of looking around and settled on this old advertisement for inspiration.

By the standards of the time its pretty low key, not much in the way of text, and I like the layout. Bold black eye grabber in the middle and pretty easy to read.

So here is my take on a Victorian era Starbucks logo. I did a little reading up on wikipedia about Starbucks and they took there name from the First Mate in the novel Moby Dick, and the company was founded in 1971 as per Wikipedia.  The Coffee Tea etc was incorporated in one of their early logos, and I added the little motto just to add more text like the old Victorian ads did. Now let me know what you think!

    Nicely decorated. I'm actually quite fond of how simple it is compared to a lot of other images I've seen in the Victorian style. I think the symmetry's helping in this case.
