The shield is drawn in flat vector style with a double outline and a rounded top that tapers to a downward pointed notch at the base, the form Brazilian federal routes have long used. Inside it, the letters \u003cstrong\u003eBR\u003c\/strong\u003e sit above the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e189\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the junction note stands apart in the design as a plain, legible label. Nothing competes with the marker, so the eye moves from shape to letter to number in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shield, or \u003cem\u003eescudo\u003c\/em\u003e, is the emblem of a Brazilian federal highway, and the BR prefix marks the route as part of that national system. BR-189 is a route number, and the \"jct\" tag points to a junction, the place where roads meet and drivers choose a direction. The design reads as navigation: a sign that tells you where you are on a map and which way the road runs. It is a modern sign style, graphic and reduced, built to be read at a glance from a moving vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand and read from the side, so the shield wraps as you rotate it, and the BR-189 designation comes round to face you each time you lift it. Each sip brings the sign back into view, like a roadside marker passing at speed. It suits a coffee break on a long drive, or a reminder of a route someone knows well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53148656566552,"sku":"GMY-MUG-BR189-11OZ","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53148656599320,"sku":"GMY-MUG-BR189-15OZ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/br-189-jct-brazil-road-sign-white-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-BR189-11OZ-front.webp?v=1793837071","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/br-189-jct-brazil-road-sign-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
