Really looks to me like the Nissan mug with the top part modified to remove the threads.

Is it just me or does the insignia look... slanted? Like it's slightly skewed from left to right (parallelogram deform)
Hey guys, bumping this to first of all report that Doug Drexler posted a link to the actual file used for the mug's vinyl decal:

Secondly, there's a guy on ebay who sells the vinyl decals for the Defiant, Enterprise-E and Voyager. Whilst his look amazing quality-wise, they didn't look exactly accurate, so I sent him the file from Doug Drexler, and he's going to print me a set. He asks that you message him which one you want when ordering, so know that he now has the correct file, just make sure you state that should you order some from him:

Just in case anyone's wondering, no, it's not me. I'm in the UK, and this guy is in Tennessee. I literally just came across his listing on Friday, and thought some people might appreciate knowing that you can buy the Vinyl's ready made.
Thirdly, would anyone have any advice for me on how to remove the area I've circled in the picture below?

Mine doesn't have the Chinese writing on the outside (I'm guessing mine is the US version). It's not a simple sticker, and each letter is raised a little bit. I don't want to risk scratching the steel underneath - speaking of which, any advice on polishing it up would be greatly appreciated as well. I freely admit I'm more of a lurker around this place (admiring from a distance, and keeping my envy at bay!).
Any help/advice would be fantastic.
I gotta remember to keep checking Doug Drexler's FB... I used to be on his Drex Files site all the time for cool stuff like this. Maybe I should remind him he once said he'd look and see if he had any of the artwork for Quark's bottle labels...Hey guys, bumping this to first of all report that Doug Drexler posted a link to the actual file used for the mug's vinyl decal:

I don't know about Quark's bottle labels, but there's absolutely loads of cool DS9 graphics in his album here:I gotta remember to keep checking Doug Drexler's FB...
