The shield has a rounded bottom with a pointed notch at its centre, and a double-outlined border runs around its edge. Inside, the letters \u003cstrong\u003eBR\u003c\/strong\u003e sit above the route number \u003cstrong\u003e857\u003c\/strong\u003e. Nothing else competes for attention. The flat vector drawing has no shading, texture or decoration, so the shape and the numerals carry the whole image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute markers like this one are how Brazil's federal highways are identified on the road. The \u003cstrong\u003eBR\u003c\/strong\u003e prefix marks a federal route, and the three-digit number locates the road within the national network. The shield itself is the signal: a driver recognises the form before reading a single character. Presented as a mug design, the sign turns that everyday piece of roadside information into a piece of graphic design, drawn from the modern signage of Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTurned in the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is held and turned, so the shield comes into view one side at a time as the cup moves. The central notch and the double border read clearly from the front, while the heavy black lettering stays bold from across the table. It is a quiet, graphic design for anyone who likes their road trips in the form of a coffee break, or who simply wants a bit of Brazilian highway character at the start of the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53183017484568,"sku":"GMY-MUG-BR857-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53183017517336,"sku":"GMY-MUG-BR857-15OZ-1FRX9","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/br-857-jct-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-BR857-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794199063","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/br-857-jct-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
