MAG-40 (USMC) Color Changing Coffee Mug – Design

This dynamic mug design pays homage to the legacy (or potential past) of Marine Aircraft Group 40 within the United States Marine Corps. The design is centered around the official designation: “MAG-40 USMC,” presented in a bold, military-inspired font.

The Transformation

The magic of this mug lies in its color-changing ability. When cold, the design may appear more subtle. However, as the mug is filled with a hot beverage, a dramatic transformation unfolds. A background image, perhaps representing the skies a Marine pilot may see, and/or the silhouettes of aircraft known to fly under USMC control, reveals itself. The precise imagery would depend on the interpretation of MAG-40.

Symbolism

The design, at its core, represents a Marine Aircraft Group. The “MAG” signals the unit’s role in supporting Marine Aviation’s mission. The number “40” highlights the distinctness of this group. The “USMC” signifies the Marine Corps as a whole. This mug is designed to honor this potential unit, or commemorate the rich history of a Marine Aircraft Group through a thoughtful and visually engaging experience.
