USCG Bailey Barco WPC 1122 Color Changing Coffee Mug Design

This dynamic design celebrates the USCGC Bailey Barco (WPC-1122), a Sentinel-class Fast Response Cutter of the United States Coast Guard. The artwork utilizes a unique color-changing technology to reveal a hidden aspect of the cutter’s identity.

When cold, the mug displays a striking image of the Bailey Barco at sea, navigating the Alaskan waters it calls home. The crisp lines of the vessel are emphasized against a backdrop representing the challenging environment of the North Pacific. The prominent hull number, WPC-1122, is boldly displayed, signaling the cutter’s specific identity within the Coast Guard’s fleet.

As the mug is warmed, the design undergoes a dramatic transformation. The cold image fades to reveal a vibrant depiction of the Coast Guard’s emblem, the Coast Guard Racing Stripe, symbolizing the cutters dedication to service, protection, and readiness. This hidden reveal is a nod to the Bailey Barco’s multi-mission capabilities, encompassing search and rescue, law enforcement, and national defense, all under the banner of the Coast Guard. This subtle shift in color underscores the vessel’s dynamic role in safeguarding maritime safety and security.

The design ultimately seeks to honor the legacy of Bailey T. Barco, the cutter’s namesake, whose heroic actions embody the Coast Guard’s core values. The overall visual message is one of strength, vigilance, and unwavering commitment to service.
