Norwest

This week's mug comes from NORWEST Banks.  The mug has been microwave damaged, but it's easy to see the original design.  On the left side of the mug would have been a dark area punctuated with colorful stars in red and white. Beneath this area is the NORWEST emblem.  
When hot liquid is added, the dark area clears (in this case, you can see that it still clears a bit) to reveal a stylized sunrise beneath the words "Good Morning."

Norwest banks merged with Wells Fargo in 1998, so it's a good guess that this mug was given out sometime during the 'magic mug' hey days of the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s and was given out to patrons of the bank (perhaps with the opening of a new account.)
