BR-964 jct
BR-964 jct (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design is a flat vector road shield, the kind of marker that tells drivers exactly which federal highway they are on.
Visual Elements & Composition
White fills most of the artwork, roughly four parts in five, with black providing the structure. The shield sits centred and upright, built from a double outline that traces its edge and steps inward, ending in a pointed notch at the bottom. Two lines of bold lettering sit inside: BR above 964. Nothing else competes for attention. The layout is symmetrical and direct, so the sign reads at a glance, the way it would from a moving car.
Meaning & Symbolism
In Brazil, the BR prefix marks a federal highway, and 964 identifies this particular route. The "jct" in the title denotes a junction, the point where this road meets another and drivers must choose a direction. The design captures that moment of decision in a single emblem. Brazilian road signage follows a shared visual language, and this shield belongs to that tradition of modern, functional transport graphics, where clarity is the whole point.
On the Black Mug
A road sign is designed to be read quickly, and a mug is read the same way. As you turn it in your hands, the shield rotates into view and disappears again, so the composition has to hold together from every angle. The pointed notch and double outline keep the emblem recognisable even in a quick glance over the rim. For anyone who has ever pulled over at a junction to check the map, this is a cup that finally puts the route in front of you while you wait for the kettle.

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.
- Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
- Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
- 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.
