However, I am also not sure about the words on the mug. My thoughts are not so much of the legal ramifications of trademarked names but just the question of why you included the letters you did and why did you make the choice of cutting them off where you did (for exmaple, just a hint of the A in STARBUCKS showing on the left)?

Hi Wulf, I took several photos using different angles and lighting positions and there was something I liked about this one that I can't really quantify.

The wider shots with the whole mug looked way too much like an advertising shot. This image is closer again with shallow DOF and most of the wording on the mug left out of the shot. I thought that having part of the plain mug in the background was too boring whereas the text added "something"
