Mine has my rattery logo and name on it. It’s a logo I’m really fond of, and I think the mug looks great. Always makes me smile! ---

I have one I got from a work activity. It says Treasures of NOAA’s Ark and has a crate with the NOAA symbol coming out of it. You can see a picture of the logo [here.](http://preserveamerica.noaa.gov/hw05.html) ---

Favourite work one - black inside and out, with white scrollwork type pattern and the stylised B (for Buffy) logo. The black inside was handy as it never really got washed properly at work, just rinsed out between batches of black coffee and green tea. 🙂 Favourite home one - a tacky native american style painted mug, souvenir of New Mexico. Nice bright colours, completely inauthentic I’m sure, but mainly used as it holds about half a pint of coffee, which is \*very \*important first thing in the morning. Even if it is instant coffee rather than “real”. 😉 ---

Mine is a rather oversized ceramic mug that says: **Eggs 'n Things Honolulu, Hawaii [www.eggsnthings.com](http://www.eggsnthings.com)** No, I did not steal it. Bought it on our last trip to Hawaii six years ago. It replaced my previous favorite that I dropped and smashed, another rather oversized ceramic mug bearing Van Gogh’s _The Starry Night_. ---

My favorite doesn’t say anything on it, other than an Ozy and Millie logo. It’s also got a picture of Llewellyn then dragon reclining with a rose in his teeth. Another favorite O&M mug (that I use for pens due to cracks) has Ozy sitting on a curb, with a sign next to him that says “Will provide pseudo-insightful commentary for food.” A third favorite has a variety of Shakespearean insults on it.

My favorite mug is large and purple and on one side reads: All Lives Should Have 9 Cats the other side has: [Crazy Cat Lady](http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/33515_1460464043183_1580907534_1095245_3549627_n.jpg) [It fits, too](http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/38919_1460464923205_1580907534_1095247_4474642_n.jpg) 🆒 ---

Most of my mugs have logos and slogans from the companies I 've worked for. I’ve gotten them for free over the years. I have so many that I never felt the need to buy any more. ---
