A white border frames the shield, and a yellow band runs across the top carrying the characters \u003cstrong\u003e粤高速\u003c\/strong\u003e. The route number \u003cstrong\u003eS17\u003c\/strong\u003e sits large and bold at the centre, the clearest thing on the face. The name of the road, \u003cstrong\u003e揭普惠高速\u003c\/strong\u003e, runs along the bottom in a smaller, equally direct type. Black appears only in tiny accents, so the composition reads as a clean block of colour with two strong typographic anchors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach element does a job. The yellow band and the character 粤 identify Guangdong, the province the road serves, while 高速 marks the road as an expressway. The S prefix in the route number places the S17 among China's provincial expressways. The bottom line gives the full name, Jieyang-Puning-Huizhou, linking three cities in eastern Guangdong into one route. The result is a modern, utilitarian sign whose whole purpose is to tell a driver exactly where they are heading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for the Hand, Read in Motion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand, so the shield gets seen from a dozen angles before the sign settles into place. The composition holds up because the route number and the place name are both large enough to read at a glance. As the cup warms, the design comes up through the surface, so the road number surfaces the way a sign does when you drive toward it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53167809364248,"sku":"GMY-MUG-GNGXPW-11OZ-128","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/guangdong-expwy-s17-sign-with-name-china-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz-GMY-MUG-GNGXPW-11OZ-128-front.webp?v=1793964402","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/guangdong-expwy-s17-sign-with-name-china-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
