Re: New mug design

FWIW

I disagree. If you want a family-friendly mug, go to K-Mart.

People in your target market ARE geeks. But I think that commit; is a bit
obscure. Though I suspect that a lot of women would buy them for their
boyfriends!

I would like to see a nicely shaped mug. The current one is boring, as
coffee mugs go. The logo is too big. I understand why you have trouble
getting people to take them. It is bloody ugly! It would ONLY appeal to
PostgreSQL enthusiasts or people with no design sense.

My apologies to the designer of the original mug, but it fails to excite,
amuse or inspire. IMHO
