A broad green panel takes up most of the field, carrying the route designation \u003cstrong\u003eS36\u003c\/strong\u003e in white. Above it, a narrow yellow header band holds the Chinese characters \u003cstrong\u003e皖\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e高\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e速\u003c\/strong\u003e, the provincial and expressway markers that identify the road. Thin dark grey accents sit at the edges. The layout is centred and symmetrical, so the eye lands straight on the numerals, with nothing competing for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery element is there to be read at speed. The green field and yellow header follow the colour logic of Chinese expressway signage, where contrast does the work of directing a driver before a word is registered. The S36 designation is a route code, and the province character 皖 is Anhui's regional mark, so the sign tells you where you are and where the road leads. The design is a modern tribute to the signage of Anhui's expressway network, reduced to its structure and its information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand, so the sign's two bands wrap around the cup as you rotate it, the yellow header rising above the green route panel as you lift it to your lips. Each glance reveals a little more of the designation, much like a driver catching the next marker on a long run. It is a quiet, cheeky piece for anyone who has ever found comfort in a well-placed route number on a long drive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53209555861784,"sku":"GMY-MUG-NHXPW-11OZ-194","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53209555894552,"sku":"GMY-MUG-NHXPW-15OZ-73","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/anhui-expwy-s36-sign-no-name-china-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-NHXPW-11OZ-194-front.webp?v=1794243188","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/anhui-expwy-s36-sign-no-name-china-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
