A black double-outlined shield, its bottom point notched, sits at the centre of the composition and fills most of the field. Inside it, the letters \u003cstrong\u003eBR\u003c\/strong\u003e stand above the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e277\u003c\/strong\u003e, set in a bold, plain type that reads at a glance. The flat vector drawing has no shading, gradients or texture, so the shape and the numbers carry the whole image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shield is the standard marker for a federal highway in Brazil, and the \u003cstrong\u003eBR\u003c\/strong\u003e prefix identifies the road as part of the national network. Route 277 is one of those federal roads, running through the south of the country, and the “jct” in the title points to its junction with another route. Signage of this kind exists to guide drivers, so the design keeps the honest, informative character of the sign it draws from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Suits a Mixing Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mixing glass is handled close and turned often, so the shield is seen in motion, first as a whole and then as the letters pass the hand. The tall, tapering body gives the marker room to sit upright and read clearly as the glass is lifted and set down. For anyone who has followed a long road across Brazil, or simply enjoys a good piece of transport graphics, the design turns an everyday object into a small piece of navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53141551513880,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-BR277-16OZ-1FSEA","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/br-277-jct-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-BR277-16OZ-1FSEA-front.webp?v=1793794246","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/br-277-jct-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
