What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
SAN DIEGO in small navy sans-serif capitals, stacked on two lines in the upper middle of the front.
- 2Yellow palm
A yellow palm with dark centres in its fronds rises at the left of the lettering, with a smaller grey-green palm below it.
- 3Blue twin towers
Two tall light-blue towers with flat tops stand side by side, split by a thin dark navy wedge.
- 4Spired tower
A light-blue tower with a pointed spire and a navy arched window rises at the right of the front, with a small tan shape beside it.
- 5Tan buildings
Tan and olive blocks stand at the left edge of the front, with a pale blue building beside them.
- 6Boat
A blue boat shape with dark windows sits above a yellow band at the lower left of the front; the curve of the mug cuts off its bow.
- 7Obelisk Side view
A tall tan obelisk with a pointed top stands in the middle of this side, in front of a pale blue tower.
- 8Dark blue tower Side view
A navy and light-blue tower stands to the right of the obelisk, with pale blue and cream buildings behind it.
- 9Boat with sail Side view
A light-blue boat with a dark striped sail points to the right along the bottom of this side.
- 10Sun Side view
A yellow disc with a grey ring sits at the left edge of this side; the curve of the mug cuts off part of it.
- 11STARBUCKS wordmark Back view
The vertical STARBUCKS wordmark runs in dark letters beside the handle on this side.
- 12Sun Back view
A yellow disc with a grey ring hangs high on the back, with a small blue flying shape to its lower right.
- 13Palm and surfboard Back view
A grey-green palm leans over a blue surfboard standing upright, both on a yellow patch of sand.
- 14Arched bridge Back view
A blue bridge with navy-and-white pillars curves across the bottom of the back toward a tall blue tower at the right edge.
The three photos cover most of the outside of the mug. The base is out of view, so any markings underneath, and the area directly behind the handle, are not shown.
Collector notes
- The inside of this mug is dark blue. The front carries the lettering and the palm, the left side is mostly skyline and a boat, and the back has the sun, a second palm and a surfboard, so a front-only seller photo misses most of the drawing.
- Starbucks also made San Diego mugs in the Discovery Series and the Been There Series. The You Are Here mug is the one with plain flat colour blocks and SAN DIEGO in small sans-serif capitals; check the series name in the listing.
