HEXUS mugs - (no..not you.. you're not a mug...its for tea)

[Zak33]

Following on from the T Shirt / Hoodie thread, we felt love for mug potential

Please remember... this is speculative.. we're seeing if the desire is there

Do you like, and if so which do you like?


HEXUS PIXEL MUG

HEXUS est1998 MUG

HEXUS GRID MUG

Arrgh! that's a more difficult choice than the t-shirts.
While I like the pixel, the grid does look good, esp if it's a full wrap around and not on one side.
Heck I even like the est1998 one


Side note, I think you've over worked the graphics ninjas, the job is not half as well done, that or they need some better curved surface mapping training (including variable plane mapping.)

Not feeling it for any of them tbh, which is sad given the time I spend on Hexus and the gallons of tea I consume

Can you make a grid of the avatars of say the top 100 posters by post count for the front of the mug and a simple Hexus logo on the back? Could do it just for posts last year and a "Class of '17" tagline. Should get you about 100 sales at least that way

I like all of them, but how about a white one with a crisp hexus logo like on the top of the forum page?

[Pob255]

Actually to go true retro it should be beige not white.

I immediately voted for the pixel logo, but on second thoughts the grid one does look the best out of the three if it wraps around as much as that in reality.

With that said however...

I do like the idea of the normal version of the logo too.

[Biscuit]

Ooooohhhh I like that grid one. Would happily throw a few quid the Hexus way for one of those... even though its probably not big enough for my monster cups of tea

I like all three but the Grid seems to be more apealing on this.

Like my old one

Like my old one

Seconded .....Wot he said.

Not feeling the love for any of the "new" designs tbh. Keep it old skool!

I will be the (so far) lone voice for the second one “est 1998” even though I wasn’t a member then.

(I hope they will be available in fine bone China, essential for tea)

The grid mug isn't too bad - you should have one of the logos in hexus orange - you know, make it more expensive.

[Smudger]

I like the designs, but I don't like the mugs. I prefer a straight up and down mug.

[Zak33]

I'e been talkling to the designer (who shall be called Ollie in this thead as his name isn't Ollie) and I think the grid design needs to be in different greens, beiges, browns... khaki,... and then I want it made into a fabric.. and I want full hunting gear made out of it, in Goretex

And .....oddly... he understood!!

It wont happen ...but he got it!

[spacein_vader]

The first design is the only one that's even close to desirable to me. I'd prefer just the bog standard logo though. Agree with the other comments around mug shape, surely the tapering makes it closer to a cup than a mug?
