I-82 WA Metric (Washington) Road Sign Coffee Mug Design

This coffee mug showcases the iconic Interstate 82 (I-82) road sign as it might have appeared during the brief U.S. experiment with metric signage in the 1970s and 1980s. The design pays homage to this unique period in American transportation history.

Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the classic Interstate shield. The familiar red top band boldly displays "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, a constant in the interstate system. Below, the primary field features a deep blue background, providing a strong contrast to the prominent white numerals “82”, identifying the specific highway.

A clean white outline borders the entire shield, providing definition. The design may (or may not) include the state name "WASHINGTON" above the shield depending on whether it reflects an older or modern shield design, as noted in the prompt.

To further emphasize the context of the metric era, the design evokes the spirit of the signs that would have guided motorists. Guide signs and directional banners (e.g., NORTH or SOUTH) are presented metaphorically through the placement of the shield itself, hinting at the overall road signage system.

Meaning and Symbolism

The I-82 shield itself symbolizes the Interstate Highway System, a cornerstone of American infrastructure and a visual representation of mobility and connection. The inclusion of “82” signifies a particular route, reminding the viewer of the road that runs through central Washington, linking communities and facilitating travel.

The metric context adds a layer of historical significance, referencing a time when the nation considered adopting a different measurement system. The design subtly evokes the era when exit signs would have displayed distances in kilometers, highlighting a period of transition and experimentation in the US.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
