About this design
Lyon tcl parc-relais
Lyon tcl parc-relais (France) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the flat, instructional look of a French transit sign and reduces it to a single bold letterform cluster: a white "P+R" set in slate blue, the mark that tells drivers a park-and-ride lot lies ahead.
Visual Elements & Composition
Slate blue fills roughly 85 percent of the square field, with white taking up the rest. Three elements carry the whole composition: the letter P, a plus sign, and the letter R, arranged left to right in clean, evenly spaced forms. There is no illustration, no shading and no decoration. The flat vector finish keeps every edge crisp, and the result reads at a glance, which is exactly what a road sign is built to do.
Meaning & Symbolism
The "P+R" marks a Parc Relais, a park-and-ride facility managed by TCL (Transports en Commun Lyonnais) and overseen by SYTRAL. These lots sit at the edge of Lyon so drivers can leave their cars and continue into the centre by metro, tram or bus. The plus sign stands for that connection: parking joined to public transport. The design belongs to the modern era of French urban infrastructure, and it expresses an idea of efficient, organised travel into the city.
Made for the Shot Glass
A shot glass is small, held close and lifted quickly, so a sign-style design works here in a way it cannot on a larger surface. The square lettering sits neatly within the glass's compact frame, and the bold blue and white stay legible from the moment the glass is picked up. Every toast becomes a short encounter with a Lyon road sign, a fitting souvenir for anyone who has navigated the city's transit network.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — 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 (≈44.3 ml) — 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.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- 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 — 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.
