Its body is a deep green, edged with a white border that gives it the crisp outline of a roadside marker. Across the centre, a yellow letter N sits beside the yellow numerals 1 and 2, so the designation reads at a glance. The flat vector style keeps every edge sharp and every colour solid, with no shading or texture. The black of the mug itself forms the surround, so the shield appears to sit directly on the ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe N12 shield is a route marker. Irish national roads are identified by a letter and number like this one, so the sign works as a piece of navigation rather than decoration. The IRL code points to Ireland, and the combination of country code and route number treats the island's road network as an ordered system, one that travellers have read on countless journeys. The design celebrates that everyday language of signage and places it in the hands of anyone who has followed a road west, or simply loves the look of a well-made route marker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTurning the Shield in Your Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is a object you turn as you drink, so the shield will pass in front of you one side at a time, the N and numerals coming into view as the mug rotates. It is a fitting pairing for a morning cup: the same sign that guides a driver onto the right road now guides the eye through the first coffee of the day. Pour a cuppa, pick up this one, and let the N12 be your route for the next few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53228165955864,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RLN-11OZ-76","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53228165988632,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RLN-15OZ-4","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/irl-n12-ireland-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-RLN-11OZ-76-front.webp?v=1794286200","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/irl-n12-ireland-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
