About this design
SP-696
SP-696 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design is a flat, modern route marker: a pentagonal shield with a bold black border, carrying the code SP 696 in plain, confident numerals.
Visual Elements & Composition
The artwork is built from two colours, black and white. White fills most of the field, around 86 percent of the design, and the black border and lettering take up the rest. The pentagon sits centred and unfussy, with nothing around it but space. The letters SP sit above the route number 696, which dominates the composition. The result reads instantly at a glance, the way a road sign should. Its flat vector style has clean edges and no shading, so every line is crisp.
Meaning & Symbolism
Route shields are how a road network tells you where you are. The pentagon shape and the state-code prefix follow the conventions of Brazilian state highway markers, and SP is the abbreviation for São Paulo state. Route 696 is the identifier that does the work here, turning a sign into a specific piece of the map. The design takes a utilitarian object from the roadside and gives it a modern, graphic life, so a plain sign becomes a conversation piece about travel, place and the quiet pride of knowing exactly which road you are on.
On the Black Coffee Mug
A mug is turned in the hand, so the shield is seen in fragments as the cup rotates, with the black border framing the white field each time it comes round. The pentagon's straight edges and the bold numerals stay legible from the rim down to the base, so the route number greets you first thing in the morning. It makes a good talking point for anyone who has spent long hours on the road, or who has a soft spot for signage and cartography. Pour something hot, read the sign, and let the journey start.

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.
