Nice for professionals, but the simplicity of the OP's proposition makes
for a nice brand recognition, I find?

I would suggest to write 'postgresl.org' for the message.

I agree that the website where the logo comes from obviously doesn't need a written URL on the page, but it's a good addition to a mug.

Instead. I'd suggest to add that URL to the postgres website lower on the same side (at the bottom, for example). I'd use the same font as in the logo using a dark-gray colour.

...I wonder how long it will be before we have mugs where you can actually tap the logo with a finger and get send to the website!
