Yeah, I know… This isn’t a picture for the gallery. It’s just an idea I got when I recently realized that I was still drinking my coffee from the mug that I bought during a commercial operation of a fast-food chain… last century. (It was used as model.)
I can have such a mug from a “mug printing” company but I think that it would be better if the Blender Foundation earned a percentage in the process, don’t you think?
I wouldn’t say no to a new mouse mat either… but that would have make a really boring picture.
Could you be more specific about… well, everything. A vague criticism is very frustrating for an artist. I couldn’t resist to the urge to change my image already. Different lighting… but it’s still an utilitarian render.
As for the design, I can’t do much. A mug is a mug… And Blender’s logo with Blender’s colors and Blender’s name. What else? I can change the font tho…
Nice work, but IMO the mug would look a bit better with a less rough glossy shader, because at the moment it looks more like cheap plastic than ceramic. (or were you aiming for that?)
Great idea! modelling is fine.

@Jamosium: I reduced the shininess because the mugs in the background looked too metallic, like paint cans. Your post made me stare again at my picture… and I made some changes… again! New HDRI without blue sky, no background mesh, more gloss on the mugs. (This thread is turning into a WIP.)
But I’m still not satisfied. The ceramic looks so much more shiny than on my real mug.
