To sum up this discussion: i called my supplier today and asked for
several offers:
1) If we change the current design to something new, it needs 6 weeks
for preparation. So for having new mugs for FOSDEM we should have a
logo/art/lettering decision until end of november.
Note: They have to produce new mugs anyway, either we go with the
current design for another 10-15 boxes or we create something new.
2) I asked for other types of mugs, will get an offer.
3) It is possible to engrave mugs. The logo/text would not be printed
on the mug but instead the mug will have a relief with the logo/text in
it. Someone interested in this? I will get an offer.
4) Frozen glasses with imprint. I will get an offer.
5) Thermos mugs with imprint. I will get an offer.
I was asked about "valuable" mugs, like the well-known vi-mug and like
Josh was suggesting, but i postponed this question because it was not
clear, what exactly we want to print on this mug. To be fair: we did
not even reach any conclusion about the current mug and i don't want to
open two parallel discussions.
Bye
