Steam up top, flames underneath: this mug has left the counter.

This coffee mug sticker is a vinyl sticker with a picture of a mug on it, and that mug is drawn as a rocket in the middle of liftoff. Coffee drinkers, space fans and early risers tend to get the joke at a glance, which makes Rocket Mug an easy add-on to a birthday card.

The drawing: a mug with fins, on its way up

At the center is a straight-sided coffee mug seen slightly from above, drawn in a thick black outline with a round handle on its right. Brown coffee shows inside the rim, with a darker band along the back edge.

A tall wisp of cream-yellow steam curls up from the coffee, joined by a short black squiggle on one side and a small leaf-shaped puff on the other.

The rocket parts start lower down. Two orange fins sweep out and down from the sides of the mug, and a flat grey-brown ring sits under its base like an engine. A flame comes out of that ring, an orange core inside a yellow-orange jet, and widens into a puffy yellow exhaust cloud with scalloped edges. The style is flat cartoon with heavy black line, and the picture carries the whole idea without a caption.

Shaped like the art, on vinyl made to be handled

• Kiss-cut along the outline of the picture, from the tip of the steam to the exhaust cloud, with a white border tracing the same shape
• Taller than it is wide, because the cut follows the art and not a square
• High-opacity film, which blocks the view of anything stuck or painted beneath it
• Bubble-free when applied, and simple to do
• Durable vinyl for ordinary day-to-day use
• Give the spot a clean before you start

Who it's for

People who are out the door before sunrise with coffee in hand, space fans, engineers, and students counting down to a deadline. Try it on a lab notebook, a planner cover or a pencil case. Hand it over with a graduation card for a new engineer, on someone's first day at a new job, in a holiday stocking, or as a thank-you for the coworker who always starts the pot.

Quick answers

Does the sticker reach the edges of the size I choose?

The sticker has the shape of the drawing, which is taller than wide, so it stops short of the sides of the size you choose. Pick 15″×3.75″ and you still receive one rocket mug, the same shape as on the other sizes, with space left on either side.

Which way does the handle point?

To the right as you look at it. The steam rises above the rim and the exhaust cloud sits below the base, so the picture reads from bottom to top, like a launch.

Is it more of a coffee design or a space design?

Both. Coffee is the subject: a full mug with steam rising. The fins, engine ring and flames are borrowed from cartoon rockets, so it sits happily next to coffee stickers and space stickers alike.
