You know, now that they've apparently relocated
operations to New York City (although I believe the
"A.V. Club" remains in Madison, 'Sconsin, The Berkeley
of the Midwest (making Evanston, IL the flatland
Stanford?)), they just don't pay attention to detail
the way they used to.  The pre-media empire Onion
would have whipped up this logo for us, meaning I
could've had a nifty t-shirt made up.  Guess it's time
to take up the challenge ...

By the way, do note that that "B" in "STARBUCK'S" can
be easily altered to something alittle less
family-friendly.  And, again, reminds me, You've Got
Mail, notice how independent-bookstore owner Meg Ryan
rails against Tom Hanks' megastore chian, yet
nonetheless not only gets her mail on America Online
but also frequents Starbucks?  Presumably, they've
driven the local independent coffee shops out of
business ...
