Omega-TI Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I spied this photo on another part of AtariAge. I absolutely L VE this concept for a mug. Would any of you pony up a few bucks for a group purchase if we could all get one with a TI console wrapped around the cup? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Looks tacky to me. I could see a nice TI logo on the cup, maybe the newer word with the red Texas, that can be fully seen in the same "panel," but not wrapped around the cup.

Casey Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Doesn't Greg already have something like this? https://www.arcadeshopper.com/wp/?page_id=11#!/TI-99-4a-Computer-Ceramic-Coffee-Cup-Mug-11oz-Texas-Instruments/p/80851219/category=22729044 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to go through my graphics and see if I have anything suitable. Then I'll check to see if Vistaprint can do a wrap-around mug. What would be perfect for me is a stainless steel cup with just the black and white TI keyboard wrapped around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not look quite right to me, besides, I'd be spending way too much time in the bathroom and not on the TI if I had that filled with coffee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unhuman Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If you guys want stainless, you could sorta mock it up by getting a Yeti or similar and vinyl stickers and just roll it on the mug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 The answer is .. nope Bummer, I would have preferred to do business with someone I know within the community. Oh well, I'll get you on the keyboard cables. If you guys want stainless, you could sorta mock it up by getting a Yeti or similar and vinyl stickers and just roll it on the mug. The place I'll be going through in a previous message above makes them dishwasher safe, which is important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
