Design a coffee mug for BRL-CAD #3BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete:
72 hrs
Mentors: Sean
This task involves designing a coffee mug for BRL-CAD. Make it look good, so that one can use it while working on BRL-CAD. Look over some great coffee mug designs before starting to work on this. It would be great if the design on coffee mug has some special meaning. However, please avoid a military theme (we already showcase too many tanks).

Submit concept art showing how your design will look printed on a mug as well as an image of the design by itself (with transparency or color instructions so we can send it to a printer).

Could this be a follow up task to the coffee mug I already created? Sean mentioned it in the other task.

This looks okay, not great but not bad. I like the simple design. The derivation of our logo with lines is a bit plain but also interesting, reminiscent of our wireframe. The issues I see are:
The "BRL-CAD" text makes me think my eyesight is going bad ... looks blurry / low quality.
The emphasis of the first letters on the byline with color causes the viewer to read OSSM ... which doesn't mean anything. It's a little misleading/distracting.
Perhaps play with an all-caps byline without color? Perhaps a different font on the "BRL-CAD" text? Feel free to let your creativity flow, use your judgement. This is looking really good, it's just needing some minor adjustments I think to be usable.
Please submit your raw working files too (psd or xcf or png or whatever you're actually editing) at a higher resolution (ideally 2048px square at a minimum).
One of the mentors has sent this task back for more work. Talk to the mentor(s) assigned to this task to satisfy the requirements needed to complete this task, submit your work again and mark the task as complete once you re-submit your work.

Thanks Andee, that's looking much better. Please join our brlcad-news mailing list to keep in touch if you have not joined it already: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-news
If we print cups at some point in the future using your design or a derivation thereof, we'll announce there (and we'll send you one).
