Call for design: PostgreSQL mugs
PostgreSQL folks!
We are looking for the next big thing. Actually, it's a bit smaller: a
new design for mugs. So far we had big blue elephants, small blue
elephants, frosty elephants, white SQL code on black mugs ... Now it's
time to design something new.
What's in for you? Fame, of course - we will announce the designer of
the next mug along with the mugs itself. Plus 4 mugs for you and your
friends.
Do you have a cool idea? Please let us know. Either reply here or send
an email to pgeu-board@postgresql.org.
Thanks,

Maybe this is a silly thing to say, but no more frosted glass cups,
please. They tended to quickly stain when I drank tea from them, in a
way that was particularly hard to clean. The black psql cups, on the
other hand, are generally really nice to drink from.

A big yellow elephant? Perhaps with a nice smile?.... Oh it's already taken ;)

A big elephant, and 2 smaller elephants.
A big elephant, and lots of increasingly smaller elephants.
A Mummy & Daddy elephants, with baby elephants.
To represent that PostgreSQL now replicates?

If it represents that PostgreSQL replicates, the elephants must be of
the same size. We don't loose any data.
But I like the idea. With replication as the motto, we can sell two
mugs instead of one...

up even more possibilities..

So it needs a design which combines more than one mug into some kind of
artwork? That would be awesome - who can design this?
And for the family of elephants - how can we make sure it's not similar
to what we used before?

I would envision mugs all the same size.

That, is, of course, unless we are on a nix command line interface ;-)

ages ago, a former employer had some neat mugs made that had a thermal
sensitive layer that disappeared when it was hot (as in filled with
coffee) and revealed something underneath. I'm not quite sure what
the postgres community might do with this, maybe a elephant logo that
fades out and reveals "PostgreSQL" or something underneath?

Why not, but I has to be at least at an orbital altitude, since
PostgreSQL is also used by some space companies, and one at least told
about it publicly [1]/messages/by-id/E0A4DA8CB358A94E860A1C604DCE0482B297999DD7@NDJSSCC01.ndc.nasa.gov. :-)

Despite I like this idea a lot, I think we should avoid messages like
"Ready for.." or such, since it implies PG wasn't ready before, wich is
mostly false in all the cases.
I think we'd better focus on what we're good at, like community
management, quality of code, respect of the standard, and such... or why
not just jokes, since I think we could just make this simple and funny..
(I don't really think we have anything to proove anymore since facts
talk for us).
This could lead to positive messages like (just samples I tought about,
and mostly to be rebranded completely!!):
Focusing what we know best:
* Community driven makes it just better
* Our code matters more than their commercials (~Debian I know)
* We are a few thousand only reviewing and testing it
* Unbreakable Open-Source Community (if you know what I mean there)
* etc..
Funnier messages:
* My spouse told me to use it, I swear
* PostgreSQL, saves money all around the world
* """"""""""""""""" time """"""""""""""""""""
* One rdbms to rule them all
* Vulcains would use it
* etc..
:-)

Good one.
One thing we could do, remove the 'Ready' and only keep 'For mission...'.
Other thing is a lot of elephants sitting around a table with
laptops(optional) denoting our community. Or a lot of elephant heads
clustered together and smiling. An awesome community is something we
all are proud of!
