Thread: Call for design: PostgreSQL mugs

PostgreSQL folks!

We are looking for the next big thing. Actually, it's a bit smaller: a
new design for mugs. So far we had big blue elephants, small blue
elephants, frosty elephants, white SQL code on black mugs ... Now it's
time to design something new.


What's in for you? Fame, of course - we will announce the designer of
the next mug along with the mugs itself. Plus 4 mugs for you and your
friends.


Do you have a cool idea? Please let us know. Either reply here or send
an email to pgeu-board@postgresql.org.


Thanks,

Maybe this is a silly thing to say, but no more frosted glass cups,
please. They tended to quickly stain when I drank tea from them, in a
way that was particularly hard to clean. The black psql cups, on the
other hand, are generally really nice to drink from.

So it needs a design which combines more than one mug into some kind of
artwork? That would be awesome - who can design this?


And for the family of elephants - how can we make sure it's not similar
to what we used before?

Not really new (nor my own) but I think it could work well on a black mug.

I think we are grown up and no longer have to bash other databases.

A big elephant, and 2 smaller elephants.
A big elephant, and lots of increasingly smaller elephants.
A Mummy & Daddy elephants, with baby elephants.

To represent that PostgreSQL now replicates?

If it represents that PostgreSQL replicates, the elephants must be of
the same size.  We don't loose any data.

But I like the idea.  With replication as the motto, we can sell two
mugs instead of one...

well - these days we can actually do cascading replication. which opens
up even more possibilities..

So it needs a design which combines more than one mug into some kind of

ages ago, a former employer had some neat mugs made that had a thermal
sensitive layer that disappeared when it was hot (as in filled with
coffee) and revealed something underneath.    I'm not quite sure what
the postgres community might do with this, maybe a elephant logo that
fades out and reveals "PostgreSQL" or something underneath?

Why not, but I has to be at least at an orbital altitude, since
PostgreSQL is also used by some space companies, and one at least told
about it publicly [1]. :-)

Despite I like this idea a lot, I think we should avoid messages like
"Ready for.." or such, since it implies PG wasn't ready before, wich is
mostly false in all the cases.

I think we'd better focus on what we're good at, like community
management, quality of code, respect of the standard, and such... or why
not just jokes, since I think we could just make this simple and funny..
(I don't really think we have anything to proove anymore since facts
talk for us).

This could lead to positive messages like (just samples I tought about,
and mostly to be rebranded completely!!):

Focusing what we know best:

* Community driven makes it just better
* Our code matters more than their commercials (~Debian I know)
* We are a few thousand only reviewing and testing it
* Unbreakable Open-Source Community (if you know what I mean there)
* etc..

Funnier messages:

* My spouse told me to use it, I swear
* PostgreSQL, saves money all around the world
* """"""""""""""""" time  """"""""""""""""""""
* One rdbms to rule them all
* Vulcains would use it
* etc..

:-)

Good one.

One thing we could do, remove the 'Ready' and only keep 'For mission...'.

Other thing is a lot of elephants sitting around a table with
laptops(optional) denoting our community. Or a lot of elephant heads
clustered together and smiling. An awesome community is something we
all are proud of!

For german speaking folks, just a mug with an elephant an the text
"ProstgreSQL".

I have one of those (Bloomberg used to give some away). They're neat at
first, but the thermal sensitive layer tends to lose its properties and
become permanently transparent after a while; the mug's look is not very
clean after that.

How about a stampede of elephants. On top it would say "PostgreSQL." and
below simply say "Unstoppable."

Interpretation of the herd is in the eye of the beholder be it
user-base, replication, clustering or community.

Similarly, "unstoppable" can refer to adoption-momentum, reliability, etc.

Here is an idea, but not sure how well it'll be accepted.

Inside the cup, names of current/active developers/contributors,
represented using tag/keyword cloud[1] form. Using a combination
of code check-in count and importance of check-in, contributions
on mailing lists, other factors to make it fair to dictate size
of names[2].

On the outside of the mug, maybe a simple elephant mascot
accompanying the simple words: "Genius Inside".

--patrick

p.s., This thread is quite distracting as it is fun to read.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud
[2] Of course, with an opt-out option if certain contributors wish
not to have their names printed.

How about a PostgreSQL take on the old "vi reference mug"?

(like this one:

http://www.cafepress.com/mf/59954381/vi-reference_mugs?utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=577529672&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=sem-cpc-product-ads&utm_content=search-pla)


The new "PostgreSQL Reference Mug" could list several of the most common
commands & options, and tips & tricks...

I dislike that image, and always have. Apart from risking alienating
people, I think it sends the wrong message - that we define ourselves
in terms of what others do and don't do. I hope that isn't true, but
if it is I think that MySQL is much less relevant now.

I agree with Mr. Geoghegan.

That image should be eradicated from the portfolio of PostgreSQL
professionals.

Makes sense to remove it. Postgres should be promoted using only its
strengths, and not comparisons with any other projects or products.

So, we discussed a number ideas here on the lists, mainly a new text for
the mugs. But it does not look like we have a winner.

There was also this cheap shot at MySQL, but I think we all agree that
we don't need this kind of design.


This raises the question: do we want

1) a design with a new text on it (some ideas were discussed here)
2) a design with a new graphic


Discuss please.

Clearly we did *not* all agree.. :-)

But here is another old one that I always liked, and would like to see processed onto a mug.  It would need some work,
but
the idea seems excellent:
a large, impressive elephant head, frontal, with the text: "Never Forgets" or "PostgreSQL Never Forgets"

Inside of the mug:

    - runs of 0's and 1's = data
    - neatly aligned or in compartments/boxes/shelved ?

Outside of mug:

    10 elephants

        - each with a headband, carrying one of P-O-S-T-G-R-E-S-Q-L on the forehead
        - cordoning off towards the outsider/onlooker/mug user (mugger ? :-)
          maybe all the way around the mug ?
        - another few doing various "housekeeping" tasks:
            - brooming up bits
            - packaging bits into a box
            - freshly painting bitbuckets
            - indexing/filing (paper) charts
            - ...

One more idea, which is on the "cute"/lighter side. This idea
can be reversed/is reversible, so you get two ideas i one:

- Outer face of the mug just simple words "PostgreSQL"
  optionally with a URL to official web-site.
- On the inside bottom of the mug face of a cute elephant looking
  at you with a smile.
- On the outside bottom of the mug, the rear end of the elephant
  with tail and all.

You can reverse the bottom images and get a second design, where
the inside bottom of the mug is the rear of the elephant with tail and
all, and the outside bottom of the mug is the smiling elephant :-)

If printing inside the mug is too difficult, cost prohibitive, then stick
with the smiling elephant at the outside bottom of the mug.

This type of a design would be a good ice-breaker/conversation
starter in office meetings, etc.

as I rarely see mugs with anything printed on the bottom, I suspect this
too would add significantly to the cost



how about something simple, like ...   one side of mug gets a large
classic postgres elephant head, and the other side gets something like
POSTGRESQL - DATA INTEGRITY BY DESIGN or something to that effect.

I'm not sure how cost prohibitive it is to print on the inside
or bottom of mugs, as I have not had a need to shop around
for such thing.

The reason you rarely see mugs with stuff printed in the bottom
is due to the fact, printing on the bottom of mugs is a more subtle
"promotion" tactic. Otherwise, the manufacturer of the mug typically
prints its logo/mark at the bottom of mugs. So this is far more
common than you would think.

Here is an example on amazon. 4th picture for this item:
http://www.amazon.com/Mustache-Printing-Funny-Dishwasher-Microwave/dp/B009FBLLHG

Printing inside mugs is also common, I actually own at least one
mug with printed words/design inside the mug. And I got it from
Hawaii (a Hawaiian mug actually), and it was relatively inexpensive.
I don't recall paying more than $5 or $6 (USD) for it.

Cheers,

Other folks posted much more clever and original ideas than mine here. But for a mug I would actually enjoy seeing on my desk daily…

--> Lift the rounded-corner blue bar off the top of the PostgreSQL.org web site:

    http://www.postgresql.org/

and wrap around a white mug.

So, the left-handed see the elephant head and "PostgreSQL".

The right-handed see "The world's most advanced open source database.".

I like Basil's idea, and I would add some sort of a "catchy" or
similar line at the top (but inside) of the blue bar with something
like the following:

"I did nothing today, and still got paid, thanks to PG :-)"

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.

One more "cute" idea that came to me last night. Here is a very
poor attempt at it by yours truly; keep in mind I'm not a graphics
artist. This image is for illustration purposes only!

    http://sidster.com/gallery/2013/09/10/elephant_paw.sml.jpg

Can you picture a bunch of these on a meeting table? If that image
does not scream "Stampede!", I don't know what does. =)

Again, a great conversation starter.

Cheers,
--patrick

p.s., Although, I for one do not condone this, those who are bent on
bashing the competitor product, can simply put a sticker-image of a
certain other mammal under this cup! ;) a DIY mod if you will.

So, when having a cap of cappuccino sitting on my desk: how can I show
- the inside of the mag
- the bottom of the mag

And the "PostgreSQL" on the outside is what we had on several design
iterations.


Sorry, I don't get how this will start a conversation.


Regards,

P.S.: Turns out there is something not on the Internet: "A video of
someone spilling his drink while answering the time question." (Let me
show you the bottom of my ... *oops*) On the other hand I'm sure someone
will prove me wrong.

I agree, that's a good idea. Instead of the original PG logo near the
top, the mug can show a real elephant face along with the foots on both
sides. And then have "PostgreSQL" somewhere written - maybe turned 90°
near the handle, on both sides?

How does this sound? And next question: who can design this? ;-)

Looking at http://www.postgresql.org/, I never even knew that there were
old designs for mugs, or where they are sold, or whether the pgsql team
gets funding from the purchase of said mugs.

The designs aren't online at the website. The mugs are sold at events,
and the money goes back to PG (that's what we do here in Europe).
