Illinois 80 1960 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass features a design inspired by vintage road signage, specifically the "Illinois 80" markers from the 1960s. The artwork directly references the early Interstate Highway System era, a period of significant infrastructure development in the United States.

Visual Elements

The core of the design is a stylized representation of the Illinois I-80 route marker. The prominent "80" is likely displayed within a classic Interstate shield, characterized by its distinctive shape and color scheme. This instantly communicates the road and state association.

The "Illinois" state designation, possibly included on the original signs, likely complements the "80" with the state name. The use of typography reflective of the late 1950s or early 1960s adds to the vintage aesthetic. This could include a specific font style and arrangement to reflect the historic sign aesthetics.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's primary meaning is a nod to a period in Illinois's and the nation's history. It symbolizes the rise of the Interstate Highway System, promoting easier and more efficient interstate travel. The "80" signifies the specific highway, a key artery across the state. The "1960" adds historical context, referencing the era when segments of I-80 first opened in Illinois, making the design a nostalgic tribute to a bygone age of travel and design.

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.
