Tiki's Grill and Bar in Waikiki also has a series of chinese mugs imprinted with their logo: a tall ceramic tiki mug available in multiple colors and an R-12 like Ku coffee mug.

Interesting news about those La Mariana mugs - I'll have to head back over there to see what those waitress-made mugs look like.

If you broaden your definition of "mug" to include glassware, you'll find a much larger variety of logoed items available.

Speaking of logoed items, Daga is most certainly in business, but they don't manufacture mugs anymore. They diversified into logoed business items and coffee after their restaurant-supply heyday, and mostly use the coffee business name (not Daga). Daga's office is located in Iwilei in the old tin warehouse area across the street from Home Depot and Costco - if you go, you'll see the Daga Hawaii sign at their loading dock, but it's kind of hard to find. I've never gone inside.

Vintage mugs are pretty hard to find - recommend looking at my post in the "Antique Shopping Tips while in Hawaii" thread in this forum.

Good luck.
