The composition is kept simple, with the code and its graphic elements sitting on one continuous field rather than competing with a busy scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe code follows a clear Brazilian pattern. MG stands for Minas Gerais, a state in south-eastern Brazil known for its mountains, historic towns and mining heritage, and the number 016 places this design within a numbered series. The result is a piece of work that carries its home state in its name, a quiet nod to a region with a long and distinct identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTurning the Cup in Your Hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is a thing you turn while you drink, so the design rotates with every sip. Its curved walls carry the artwork all the way around, which means the code and its marks are revealed a little at a time, as you lift the cup, pause, and turn it back again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182746067224,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG016-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182746099992,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG016-15OZ-1FRN4","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-016-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG016-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794193559","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-016-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
