Work Coffee Mug Ideas

[oldcorollas]

There is a subtle art to the custom work coffee mug, snarky or otherwise.
Just enough to convey meaning, not enough to be a Career Limiting Move.

Would love to see some ideas, particularly bike themed (boss is an MTBr too)

The quality of places like Hardly Normal and OfficeWorks are OK and seem to last. When on sale ~$10 for a custom mug isn't too bad (with free store pickup).
There is some difference in the prep/design interfaces to get the images in the right spot and size.. (HN used to be a bit difficult/inspecific)
Any other places to recommend?

My current goto is this Fowl Language one (is a copy.. sorry bout that. way too exxy to buy from OS tho, like $50 a mug).

current ideas for new ones include: (mainly from the Slackwyrm and Heart+Brain comics)

2-sided for makign subtle points in meetings

I worked in a design studio for a few years, and we had a similar competition going, weirder the better. Bit of a more "progressive" workplace, harder to make a Career Limiting Move.

My favorite was one of the guys had this one:

I bought a snake handled mug from this bloke over twenty years ago. It upset a wide range of colleagues over the years...I think I've retired now.

@Mr Crudley will this do? (just a quickie)

that sort of mug you only get to use one day... the last one

I'd pay for one with the Gina portrait on it.

I'd pay for one with the Gina portrait on it.

One might want to be respectful of the licensing...and include attribution.

Mug places will usually print whatever.. but maybe not always....
is it ethical? hmmm

I'd pay for one with the Gina portrait on it.

This would probably stretch OK for a full wrap

I sense a fund-raiser...

As much as the Gina portrait is making all the news, the Queen Elizabeth one is fucking hilarious, she looks like she's gurning hard on Es!

OMG, she really shines in this one. Will be hard to one up.

I would be in for a Gina Lisa.

Nice work sir.

As someone who works in the chemical industry and spends a decent amount of time looking at SDS’, this is up my alley

Not GHS compliant though
