The alphanumeric code \u003cstrong\u003eX317\u003c\/strong\u003e sits at the centre of the plate, heavy and legible, surrounded by a black border that frames it like a sign face. Nothing else competes for attention. The rounded corners and flat, vector-clean edges keep the image crisp, and the high contrast reads instantly from a few steps away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road designation is a small piece of civic order. It tells a driver where they are and which way the network runs, and this artwork distils that function into one code. The design draws on the visual language of transport signage, so it speaks of navigation, regional infrastructure and the quiet system that keeps routes connected. Its reference point is the Chinese road network, and the modern, minimal treatment places it firmly in the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTurned in the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is held close and turned slowly while you drink, so the X317 plate comes round into view with each sip. The black sign on white stays readable from the front and the handle side alike, making this a good conversation starter for anyone who has ever followed a route number home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53245867295000,"sku":"GMY-MUG-CHNCNT-11OZ-1FOSV-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53245867327768,"sku":"GMY-MUG-CHNCNT-15OZ-620","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/china-county-road-x317-china-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-CHNCNT-11OZ-1FOSV-2-front.webp?v=1794316785","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/china-county-road-x317-china-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
