This week's mug is one of the New type of magic mugs, with the Thermochromatic Ink covering the entire mug (but not the insides.) This mug is from TSU - Tennessee State University. The mug appears fully black on both sides as well as the handle, but has the letters T - S - U running down on the left side. They are dark blue and are almost hidden in the dark.
When hot liquid is added, the entire mug clears to reveal the name Tennessee State University, utilizing the three letters from before. Below is their website, www.tnstate.edu. As stated before, this is the new type of thermo ink, in that it covers the entire mug, including the handle. You can see that even the warm parts of the handle are turning clear. This new thermo ink is smoother and has a better shine than the old thermo ink.
It is interesting to note that the dark blue letters TSU are not 'masked' as in most older Magic Mugs. In this case the dark blue letters are applied OVER the Thermo Ink. (Evidenced by a scratch across one letter being near invisible until the color change.)
The color change is spectacular, though the design could be a bit better. After all, there is nothing on the right side of the mug. One would expect the designers to at least double the Tennessee State University logo on both sides.
DESIGN: Full, though only one sided actual design.
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color
TYPE: Promotional
