					<h1>It's all about the moo. Really.</h1>
					<p><span class="blogimgleft"><img src="/images/themoo.jpg" alt="the moo is where you can be most expressive" border="0" /></span>A few months ago, I read this great piece in How Magazine about the in-house creative team at <a href="http://www.starbucks.com" title="Starbucks">Starbucks</a>. You know, those crazy folks that made the oh-so-everyday-coffee hip and cool and worth many many many of your spare dollars?</p>

<p>When I was there this week, I happened to pick up a copy of their "Make It Your Drink" guide, and was really impressed not only by the sheer usefulness of the thing, but also by it's strong graphics and great voice. And I learned a few things about ordering at Starbucks. Now I can walk in and order a Grande Vanilla Soy Extra Foamy Tazo Chai Latte any time I want.</p>

<p>So I thought I'd share a bit of it, because, seriously, the part about 'the moo' made my day. Or maybe that was the Chantico and white-chocolate-chunk chocolate cookie. Yummy. Oh, and if you care to read the piece in HOW, you can get it right <a href="http://howdesign.com/db/features/starbucks.asp" title="House Blend: The Creative Team at Starbucks">here</a>.</p>
