Okay folks..good news. I have been asked to get some ideas from you, the fans.

We need to come up with some design ideas for a NUMA coffee cup that will be available for purchase in the near future from NUMA.net.

I will take your ideas and let you vote on them in the form of a poll. I will then take the top four ideas and forward them to the merchandise dept at NUMA.

I look at this as a great opportunity. Maybe we will be asked to come up with more ideas in the future.

Just for the record....I would like to see the NUMA patch logo on one side of the cup and NUMA in yellow block letters with a black outline on the other...

Take care
Mike

:D How about a driver's side (front window dash) NUMA decal. Small decals for "superlite 17 T" dive hats and bail out bottles.
Could always use some NUMA advertisments on the Bell Systems offshore!! I'm all for the NUMA patch logo on coffee cups..

Good news Loren, The stickers have already been discussed, and as of earlier this week....they are in the works.

With the NUMA logo's on it I'd like to see a "stainless steel" type cup, with screw-on lid, the kind you'd take with you when you drive to work in the morning.

Good idea Dave, I like that one too. That is something I would use for sure.

How about a "huggie". I think that is what they're called. They are what you would put a can of soda or beer in to keep it cold. People use those all the time and they would give NUMA a lot of exposure.

The coffee cup is a great idea because almost everyone I know has some kind of coffee cup with some kind of logo on their desk-top. It would be a great way to spread the word. As far as color, it almost has to be turquoise, doesn't it? With big bold NUMA letters on one side and the logo on the other. Sign me up, I'm ready to buy! B)

The cup is a great idea. having the logo on one side is a must. How about the face of Dirk or some other Character on the other side.

Any chance of some NUMA merchandise in the UK?

The travel mug w/ NUMA logo would be perfect for a coffee fiend like me, also some kind of tote or knapsack with the NUMA patch on it. I love bags! :lol:

NUMA_Diver,

I like your idea for the design. How about that on a dark blue coffee mug ?

Cheers

mugs, magnets, t-shirts, pens, numa patches, book cover patches, etc..... are great ideas to merchandise the growing cussler mania!

This doesn't exactly pertain to NUMA merchandise, but I'm a Boy Scout, and just reached the rank of Life (right before Eagle). To reach Eagle you have to do a big service project. I was thinking of doing something for NUMA. Suggestions?

How about a hat with NUMA in a semi circle at the top and a submersible below it or with any of the different types of equipment used in their pursuits to include replicas of Dirk's collections in his hangar that have been used in his adventures

I love all of the non-coffee cup ideas....but at this time I can only use "coffee cup" design ideas.
Thanks
Mike

I believe that perhaps a quote from CC on the mug would be a good Idea.
Or you could use a line from his book either from Dirk or Al. As far as a picture goes I would like to see one of the pictures that are with the books. I believe that this would truly capture the spirit of not only NUMA but as well as CC writing. :D

Great idea, Pastor Paul !

A classic Clive Cussler one-liner scrawled on the mug.

Cheers :)

How about his "Get it Up!" quote that he signs in books with regard to "Raise the Titanic"?

i like the stainless coffee mug idea (20 oz) i like coffee!----i think maybe the NUMA logo in gold on one side and a quote from Clive and a signature on the other burned in with a laser--the same gold emblem could be embossed on a black ceramic mug also---what about numbered limited edition mugs based on the book artwork ??---or limited edition coins also based on the book artwork---we could have US and UK versions---WOW !!!

The company I work for had a coffee mug design with every office worldwide on it
and the corporate logo in the center. This was a great looking mug and I thought all the shipwrecks found or all the books written by Mr. Cussler would look good on a mug. Also a small band at the top with the word NUMA all around it. We are also getting caps with our company name written at thefront of the bill in small letters and they look great. A similar idea with NUMA caps would certainly perk my interest.

I like that idea. We travel a lot and go to lots of events where a backpack makes it easier to carry stuff around.

I have a question regarding T-shirts on the NUMA site and maybe someone here can help answer my question since I didn't get a response from anyone at NUMA.

On the main NUMA page www.numa.net, there is the link for the "shop" www.numa.net/shop and there are 3 pics contained within that link. The left picture is of a shirt with the letters NUMA and a diver, XXL, and "Special Projects Dive Team", but once you go in there, no such shirt exists to purchase. There are a couple of NUMA shirts (black and grey?) and a couple of Hunley shirts, but they are not the same as the one on the previous page contained within that link. Does anyone know if those are in fact still for sale? I want one! :)

Thanks in advance, Tim

I hadn't updated the home page link to the Shop area since the re-design. I've done so now. The products currently in the Shop area of NUMA (http://www.numa.net/shop/) are all that are available.

OK- thanks Rob. I would certainly like to have one of those if they ever come available again.

Tim

How about a book bag with NUMA logo or Cussler quote or pic!

how about NUMA bumper stickers or licence plate holders with diferent famous dirk sayings or numa logos..also i was thinking a book colage poster with all the first print novel covers on it...also what if they put out a kids and adult line of numa logo dive masks and snorkels and flippers ...

some great ideas. The Numa colors are a must. A traverl mug would be perfect for me and a regular cup for home. What better way to get other people to know about Dr. Cussler. I can't wait to see them. th:

Well, I think we should have a design that incorporates the NUMA logo as it appears in the BOOKS. Turquoise color, etc. Then, a NUMA mug which has the actual NUMA logo.

And the words: vinni, viddi, vicci on the other side.

Just another thought on the coffee mug idea, how about a world map with a star or something indicating every shipwreck site that NUMA has surveyed? w:

th: Nice idea.

How about a backpack? The NUMA line of SCUBA gear?

:lol: Merchandising NUMA is a sure fire money maker with all the ideas flowing here!!!!

I like Pastor Paul's idea th: th:

I think a cool idea would be a keychain. Not a plastic one, but a metal one with the NUMA logo. Ive personally wanted one so why not share.

Ben

Great Idea Ben th:

I'd go for one for sure.

snor: Better get my Credit Card warmed up. When can we expect to maybe see some of this stuff for sale? snor:

Mine is all paid up so I'm ready. Let's rock. :lol:

How about a simple pocket knife (the kind with two blades and a flathead screwdriver). perhaps dark blue or black with the NUMA logo on it?

How about a key chain with the NUMA logo on it. Everyone whether they drive or not have keys to something. It could be a circular metal key chain.

I'm all about a line of SCUBA gear! I would buy it in a heartbeat! Oh...I'm so excited and it will probably never happen! But that would be amazing if it did! I would love a key chain and all sorts of coffee and travel mugs...

Man, if all these things were so....I would be a total NUMA slut! ;) :lol:
