Taking the Coffee out of Starbucks?

I literally just finished reading "Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built A Company One Cup at a Time," by Howard Schultz.  So, I was surprised to see them take the "coffee" out of their logo.  After all their mission statement - as published in the book - is to "establish Starbucks as the premier provider of the finest coffee in the word."

I guess the question that remains is: what makes a company great?  Is sticking to your core equity a statement of a strong company or rather is the ability to evolve over time more the test?
