A sign is built to be read at a glance, so the design keeps its message simple and direct, with the single word Ecuador at its centre. Nothing competes with the name. The composition is planned around that one idea, so the eye lands on the place first and the sign's shape second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA road sign points the way, and this one points to Ecuador, a nation in north-western South America. The country takes its name from the equator, which crosses it, so the word itself is a map reference. Set on a sign, the name becomes a waypoint, a signal that the journey leads somewhere specific. It suits geography, travel and national pride in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTurn It in the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is read by turning it, one slow quarter-turn at a time, and the sign comes around with you. Each glance reveals a little more of the design before the whole thing returns to view. It is a piece for the morning routine and for anyone who has ever wanted to be somewhere else while holding a cup of coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53173920727320,"sku":"GMY-MUG-CDRE61-11OZ-1FHLV","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53173920760088,"sku":"GMY-MUG-CDRE61-15OZ-1FHLV","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/ecuador-e618-ecuador-road-sign-white-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-CDRE61-11OZ-1FHLV-front.webp?v=1794052562","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/ecuador-e618-ecuador-road-sign-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
