# Disney Mermaid Mugs This Interpretation of a Starbucks Mug on Etsy Features a Version of Ariel By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-06-25 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-mug References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/caffeine/disney-starbucks/) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/211564717/disney-princess-starbucks-mug?ref=shop_home_active_2) For girls who are still obsessed with Disney princesses -- and Ariel from The Little Mermaid in particular -- you should order an inspired [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-disney-collection) mug off [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotandreading) immediately. Available from the online shop of AubsAndN, the Disneyfied design is a play on the iconic dark green Starbucks logo, but instead of toting the name of the ubiquitous coffee chain, it reads '[Disney Princess](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection).' The Starbucks mermaid has also been replaced with a black and white version of Ariel. Although, without the flowing red mane, she is harder to place. The feminine logo is available on two styles of coffee cups: a Starbucks mug and tumbler. Either way they make the perfect present for the Disney or mermaid-obsessed, not to mention Starbucks fans or caffeine addicts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Custom Disney Merchandise:** Creating personalized Disney-themed merchandise offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to tap into the continued popularity of Disney princesses and characters. - **Nostalgic Pop Culture Items:** Designing products that evoke nostalgia, such as these Disney mermaid mugs, taps into the trend of consumers seeking familiar and nostalgic experiences in their purchases. - **Iconic Logo Parodies:** Creating parodies of well-known logos, like the Starbucks logo on these Disney mugs, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to offer unique and playful products. ### Where This Applies - **E-commerce:** The e-commerce industry can leverage the popularity of Disney princesses and characters by offering personalized and unique merchandise like these Disney mermaid mugs. - **Merchandising:** The merchandising industry can capitalize on the nostalgia trend by producing pop culture items that evoke a sense of familiarity and fond memories, such as these Disney-themed mugs. - **Gifts and Souvenirs:** The gifts and souvenirs industry can cater to Disney and Starbucks enthusiasts by offering iconic logo parodies, like these Disney mermaid mugs, as unique and appealing collectibles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Theme Park Tumblers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-disney-collection.md) - [Melting Apple-Shaped Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poison-apple-mug.md) - [Landmark-Inspired Glass Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-mount-fuji-glass-mug.md) - [Fantastical Film-Inspired Coffee Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-wicked-tumblers.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Halloween Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-halloween-merchandise.md) - [Gifting-Ready Cafe Merch Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-holiday-merchandise.md) - [Bunny-Inspired Lifestyle Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-6.md) - [Cartoon Cat-Themed Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-2.md) - [Playful Coffee Merch Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-mofusand.md)
