Iowa 178 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design replicates the iconic road sign found in Iowa, offering a miniature representation of the state's highway system. The core design element is the bold "178" numeral, rendered in a typeface that echoes the standard route marker fonts used by the Iowa Department of Transportation.

Sign Shape and Meaning

The "178" is enclosed within a circular shape, consistent with the standard design for state highway route markers in Iowa. This shape is a key visual cue, immediately signaling that the route designation relates to a state-maintained highway. The circular form also reinforces the sign's function: to provide clear and concise information to travelers.

Color and Symbolism

While the specific colors aren't explicitly described in the provided text, the design adheres to the general principles of road signage. The color scheme is likely to follow typical road sign conventions – the "178" will likely be set against a contrasting background to enhance visibility. This high contrast allows for clear and fast visual communication, enabling viewers to identify route information quickly.

Legacy and Interpretation

The design, being derived from a sign that once denoted Iowa Route 178, carries a sense of history. It evokes a legacy of travel, connecting to the history of the highway network and the open road. Because the route may be decommissioned, the shot glass design also represents a memory, a reminder of a bygone era in Iowa's transportation system.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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.

They’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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 (β‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
