TOPIC: Coffee Mug with your favorite outboard

Hi guys,
I thought I would throw this out here to get some feedback. Last mothers day I had a coffee mug made here locally for my beloved Robin with her dogs on it. So it hit me how cool would it be to have a coffee mug with some of the outboards I have restored. Well I did some legal research and as long as there my engines I can't get sued or have to pay royalties to anyone brand. So what do you guys think, would you buy them if there reasonable in price? I am going to make a prototype Mug of this motor I did this year for fun. The picture will be cropped to only show the engine and the caption will read. (1963 Evinrude Starflite V on top Offshore Addition under it.

Because everyone probably has a favorite outboard, maybe also consider having a member send in a pre-approved size image of their engine, and then you have it put on a mug with a limited title and a prepaid amount.

Just a thought only.

Ok here is what I came up with today as a prototype. I like the lay out but some how we lost the blue color of the motor and its a gray blue so that has to be fixed. It turned out pretty good and monday I will make another with the color fixed. I am not sure why it took a gray hew but its easily fixed. See photos below.
