About this design
BR-967 jct
BR-967 jct (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design is a flat, minimalist take on a Brazilian federal highway marker: a shield bearing the black letters "BR" stacked over the route number "967".
Visual Elements & Composition
White dominates the artwork, covering roughly four-fifths of the field, with black taking the rest. The shield sits centred with a rounded bottom and a pointed notch at its centre, framed by a double-outlined border that gives it the crisp edge of a traffic sign. "BR" sits small above the bold "967", so the route number reads first and the national prefix second. There is no ornament, gradient or background scene beyond the sign itself, and the flat vector style keeps every line sharp.
Meaning & Symbolism
The BR prefix marks a federal highway in Brazil, and the shield is the country's standard route marker, the same signage drivers pass on the open road. Route 967 is a numbered road within that network, and the BR-967 junction it names is a fixed point on Brazil's road system. The design takes that identifier and presents it on its own, so the sign becomes a record of one place rather than a generic road symbol. It suits anyone who reads maps for pleasure, plans routes, or has a connection to this stretch of highway.
Made for the Mug Turned in Hand
A mug is held and turned, so the shield travels around the curve as you rotate it, bringing the "967" into view one side at a time. The clean black-and-white layout reads clearly from arm's length, which is how you see it over a morning cup. Put it in front of a fellow road-tripper or a map lover and it will start a conversation about the junction before the coffee is finished.

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.
