Illinois 166 (Illinois) Road Sign Shot Glass - Design Overview

This shot glass celebrates Illinois Route 166 with a design directly inspired by the official road signs marking the highway. The artwork captures the essential visual elements of these signs, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Illinois roadways.

Sign Representation

The design faithfully replicates the standardized signage used by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for state routes. At the top of the design, the word "ILLINOIS" appears, signifying its association with the state. Below this, the prominent number "166" is displayed, rendered in a bold, easily legible black font. This is the precise designation for the north-south state highway.

Color Scheme and Format

The overall aesthetic adheres to the established visual language of Illinois road signs. The background is a clean, bright white, providing a stark contrast that makes the black text stand out. The shape is typically square or rectangular in design, mimicking the form seen on actual road markers. This simple yet functional approach ensures the design's clarity and instant recognition, reflecting the practical nature of its source material.

Symbolism

The design symbolizes navigation, travel, and the unique landscapes and communities traversed by Illinois 166. It serves as a miniature tribute to the state's transportation infrastructure and a nod to the experiences of those who travel this particular route, from the rural farmlands to the towns along its path.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

Theyโ€™re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours โ€” less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning โ€” place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
