About this design

McLean County 28

McLean County 28 (Illinois) (Road Sign) White Coffee Mug

This design reproduces the official route marker for McLean County Highway 28, a pentagonal county shield set against a plain field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Navy blue fills most of the artwork, with golden yellow providing the contrast. The shield sits centred in the frame, outlined by a double border that gives it the solid, official look of a road sign. The large numeral 28 dominates the shield, with MCLEAN and COUNTY set above and below it in smaller lettering. Its flat vector construction keeps every edge crisp, so the marker reads clearly from across a table.

Meaning & Symbolism

County Highway 28 is also known as Ireland Grove Road, a rural route of about twelve miles through McLean County, Illinois. Markers like this one separate local roads from state and federal highways, and the numeral works as a wayfinding tool for drivers, emergency crews and maintenance teams alike. The design celebrates that quiet piece of infrastructure, and the regional identity that comes with knowing the grid by its numbers.

Turned in the Hand

A mug is read as it turns, so the shield appears in full each time the handle comes round to the side. The curve of the body wraps the sign the way a roadside marker is seen at a glance, one number held in the hand while the coffee cools. For anyone who has driven those flat county roads, or who simply loves a map with local character, it is a gift that makes an everyday cup a small point of local pride.

When you order it

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
