About this design

SP-994

SP-994 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a route shield from the São Paulo state road network, the pentagonal marker that tells drivers which highway they are on.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat, modern vector graphic built from two colours. White fills most of the surface, while black forms the outer pentagon and a thin inner border that frames the field. The shape is a single, centred badge with nothing competing for attention. The route designation, SP above 994, sits in the middle in bold black lettering, so the numerals do all the work.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route shields are a language of their own. The pentagon signals a state-level highway, and the prefix SP identifies São Paulo state, the most populous state in Brazil. The number 994 is the route's designation within that network. Stripped of colour and clutter, the shield becomes a clear emblem of navigation, a sign that exists to be read at a glance and then passed on the way to somewhere else.

On the Mug

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the pentagon moves in and out of view with each sip. The black border gives the shield a crisp edge that holds up at close range, and the white field lets the numerals read clearly as the cup rotates. It is a fitting pick for anyone who keeps a map open on the table, or who likes their coffee with a little road trip on the side.

When you order it

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.
