A preview of how the Tutbucks Canopic Coffee Cups will look:
(it turned out I had made a lid for the short/small cup, so I had to re-do the lid design for a tall cup. Thanks to the local Starbucks for giving me sample cups!)

Enjoy one of the tasty beverages in several sizes at Tutbucks! Enjoy one of the tasty beverages in several sizes at Tutbucks!

In the set are two Talls, one Grande and one Venti

again, a very slight anamorphic projection to make it look right on the angled side of the cup

If this looks undistorted, then my anamorphic transform did its job ;-)


OK, now here's the challenge... What do you think are the Tutbucks names for the sizes?
Tall = ??
Grande = ??
Venti = ??

maybe Architect, Pharoah, Nile X-)

Ankh (life)
Phoenix (rising from the dead?)
Flagellum (flail, kicks your ass to work)
Hin (1/10th of a heqat; half liter)
Ka (immortal part of a being, how you will feel after drinking one)

Pretty! Not something to put innards in at all!

Here are some possibilities:
• Isis-Tall
• Horus-Grande
• Ra-Venti
With subsets of:
• Osiris-decaf
• Sekhmet-triple

-or-
• Lower Kingdom-tall
• Middle Kingdom-grande
• Upper Kingdom- Venti
-or-
Karnak-tall
Giza-grande
Luxor-venti

Question, will the cartouche be done in actual hieroglyphics for both the cup (as a variant) and your neckpiece/collar?

No, just in English. Remember this is supposed to be a themed fast-food gimmick.

Although, now that I'm done with the sewing, I may make a name-tag cartouche out of shrinky-dinks just for the heck of it. That could be in hieroglyphics

There's an old Egyptian saying:

Ankh, Udja, Seneb

It is used as a parting remark

Ankh - life
Udja - prosperity
Seneb - health

I'm also partial to the Giza, Luxor, and ?? that someone else posted.
