Soyuz TM-15 - Black Mug Design

This design is a flat vector emblem built around a single circle, dedicated to the Soyuz TM-15 mission and dated 1992.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark blue fills roughly half the field and sets the mood, with bright blue, cream yellow and bright green picking out the details. A stylised human profile sits within the circle beside a globe of Earth, and a constellation of small stars is scattered across the ground around them. The lettering is set in the emblem itself: НПО ЭНЕРГИЯ, 1992, ANTARES and CNES. The layout is symmetrical and restrained, so the eye lands on the circle first and then reads the text around its edge.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem belongs to the 1990s, when mission insignia were designed to be read at a glance, with a human figure, the home planet and the stars standing for the crew, their origin and the journey beyond. The text names the Russian manufacturer NPO Energia and the French space agency CNES alongside the ANTARES mission, marking a joint Franco-Soviet effort in the years after the Cold War. It is a heraldic style of design, a crest for a flight rather than a picture of it.

Turning the Emblem in Hand

A mug is a surface you turn rather than look at head on. As the cup rotates in the hand, the circle travels around the body, so the globe, the profile and the lettering arrive one after another, like a crew passing through a hatch. Pour a morning brew into it and the emblem becomes a small, steady companion for anyone who keeps one eye on the stars.

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.
