{"product_id":"mg-025-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","title":"MG-025 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug","description":"\u003ch1\u003eMG-025 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design takes the form of a Brazilian road sign: a single pentagonal route marker, drawn flat and bold, carrying the designation MG 25.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork is built on strong contrast. White fills most of the picture, around three-quarters of its area, while black forms the pentagonal badge and its inner border. That border frames the marker like a sign's edge, so the eye reads the shape before it reads anything else. The letters \u003cstrong\u003eMG\u003c\/strong\u003e sit above the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e25\u003c\/strong\u003e, set centred and clean, with no decoration competing for attention. The result is minimalist and graphic, with every element doing a job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA route marker is a promise of direction. The shield tells travellers which road they are on, and the \u003cstrong\u003eMG\u003c\/strong\u003e prefix names Minas Gerais, the Brazilian state whose cultural heritage and traditional arts are widely celebrated. The design turns that everyday piece of infrastructure into a statement of place and identity. Its meaning lies in that connection between a road, a region and the people who travel it, rather than in any ornamental story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Suits This Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand and read from every angle as the coffee goes down. The pentagon's sharp corners and white field sit well against the curve of the body, so the marker appears whole whichever side faces you at the table. It is a quiet, cheeky nod for anyone who has ever followed a sign to somewhere worth going, and a warm reminder of the roads that lead back home with each refill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182749442328,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG025-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182749475096,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG025-15OZ-1FRND","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-025-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG025-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794193670","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-025-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
