Arms of Lebanon - Black Mug Design

This design reproduces the national emblem of Lebanon, a single cedar tree rendered as a clear, formal heraldic device.

Visual Elements & Composition

The cedar fills the centre of the composition and dominates everything around it. Its branches spread in tiered, layered shapes in green, with a sturdy trunk anchoring the base. Behind it, a field of white gives the tree room to read at a glance. Two horizontal red bands frame the emblem top and bottom, creating a strong, symmetrical structure. There is no clutter: the emblem stands alone, centred and upright, with no decorative filler competing for attention.

Meaning & Symbolism

The cedar of Lebanon is the country's most enduring symbol. Cedars have grown on Lebanon's mountains for millennia, and their timber was prized across the ancient Near East, appearing in texts and building projects from the region's earliest recorded history. Their resilience and height made them a natural emblem of strength and endurance. The red bands recall the national colours used in the flag, tying the tree to the modern Lebanese state. Together, the elements form a formal statement of national identity, drawn from heraldic tradition and the land itself.

Turning the Cup in Hand

A mug is a thing you turn. Lift it by the handle and the emblem rotates into view, cedar first, then the red bands as you tilt it toward you. The handle sits on the opposite side, so the design faces the person holding it rather than the table. It is an easy piece to pick up for a morning coffee, a long tea, or a hot chocolate with a bit of national pride stirred in. For the Lebanese diaspora, or anyone who wants a cedar on their desk, this is a quietly confident way to carry the emblem through the day.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.

These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.

They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.

  • Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
  • Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
  • Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.

These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.

Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.

These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.

Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.

Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.

Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
