I-480 IA 1961 (Iowa) Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass showcases the iconic design of the original I-480 road sign used in Iowa, dating back to its official designation in 1961. The artwork faithfully replicates the visual elements of this historic marker.

The Interstate Shield

At the heart of the design is the classic Interstate shield. The shield itself is a powerful symbol, representing the interconnectedness of the nation's highway system. The shape is instantly recognizable, serving as a beacon of direction for travelers.

Color and Composition

The color scheme adheres to the original specifications, utilizing Pantone Red 187 for the top of the shield, a bright white for the numerals, and a striking Pantone Blue 294 for the background. This color combination is not only visually striking but also designed for high visibility, ensuring the sign could be easily seen by drivers day and night.

Numerals and Font

The prominent "480" numerals are rendered in the Roadgeek 2005 font, a modern adaptation that pays homage to the original Interstate typeface. This font choice ensures clear legibility and maintains the historical authenticity of the design. The placement of the numbers against the blue background allows them to stand out prominently, even at a distance.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
