CG 761 Office of C5I Capabilities Color Changing Coffee Mug Design

This dynamic design captures the essence of the U.S. Coast Guard's Office of C5I Capabilities (CG-761) and its crucial role in ensuring the service's operational readiness. The mug's artwork features a compelling interplay of visual elements, with the design transforming based on the temperature of the beverage within.

Core Symbolism: C5I Acronym

The central design element is an artful representation of the C5I acronym itself: Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Cyber, and Intelligence. These elements are symbolically integrated within the design. When cold, the design may appear more abstract and coded; once heated, the individual components emerge.

Visual Transformation & Meaning

The color-changing feature is key to the design's power. In its initial, cold state, the mug may display a more subdued representation of the Coast Guard insignia, perhaps in tones reminiscent of the sea or sky. As the mug warms, and the beverage temperature increases, the C5I elements become more vivid, signifying the activation of these critical capabilities. This transformation visually represents the Coast Guard's ability to "activate" its essential functions in response to mission requirements. The design reflects the dynamic nature of information, communication, and intelligence within the Coast Guard's operations.

Overall Impression

The overall design creates a visual narrative that embodies the office's core mission: enabling and enhancing the Coast Guard's C5I capabilities. The design elegantly blends information with functionality, reflecting the importance of C5I in supporting the Coast Guard's diverse operations.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
