DESIGN’26
In a journey where an idea becomes a line, and a line becomes an inspiring story, more than 2,600 participants brought their creativity to Starbucks® cups this year.
Each design submitted from across Türkiye told a different story. Some were born from a dream, some from a memory, and others from an inspiring idea. Every creation showcased the many ways creativity can come to life, while bringing us together around a shared experience: the excitement of creating, sharing, and connecting over a cup of coffee.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who was part of this journey and shared their imagination and talent with us.
Now, we’re excited to share the winning designs from this inspiring creative adventure with you.
Very soon, these designs will come to life on Starbucks® cups and become part of the daily moments of hundreds of thousands of coffee lovers.
Discover the winning designs and the inspiring stories behind them below.
Perhaps next year, the design featured on a Starbucks® cup will be brought to life through your creativity. Stay tuned for future announcements! 💚

Floating with the Star
This design reflects my daily routine, transforming it into a personal journey into Starbucks' orbit, guided by a star and the rhythm of music. As the essence of coffee is revealed, it brings fulfillment and turns the space into a galaxy of discovery, where I drift in pursuit of new stars with a child like curiosity. This atmosphere evolves into a fluid and cohesive story, where organic and repeating forms intertwine with elements that evoke Starbucks-specific associations, creating a cosmos of imagination.

Mytological Traces
A visual scene that blends the past and present is created by combining the cultural traces and symbols of Anatolia with the mythological identity of Starbucks. The mermaid figure in the Starbucks logo is at the center of a mythological scene surrounded by the symbolic motifs of Anatolian lands.

Drink and Get Colorful
We all live completely different lives in the same world; we're all different. But we actually have two things in common. For example, each of us is constantly trying to keep up with things throughout our lives, rushing around without stopping. And in this rush, we lose ourselves. This is our first common point. The moments when we put a stop to this for a moment and find ourselves again are our second common point. The first sip of coffee we take with our loved ones, in a place we love, doing things we love, is one of those moments where we stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and feel alive. So, in my design, this rush at the top transforms into a life that becomes more colorful with every sip we take from the cup, toward the bottom.
