{"product_id":"mg-075-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","title":"MG-075 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug","description":"\u003ch1\u003eMG-075 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is a conceptual route marker, a pentagonal road shield bearing the code MG-075 and drawn in the flat, modern style of Brazilian highway signage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhite dominates the design, filling most of the field around a black pentagonal shield with an inner border. The shield is set plainly in the centre with no decoration, so the eye lands straight on the code. The letters MG sit at the top and the numeral 75 below them, both in bold black. Nothing competes for attention: the layout is minimal, and the restraint is what makes it read like a real sign seen at speed from a passing car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Brazil, the prefix MG marks a state road in Minas Gerais, and the state's network of radial and interconnected highways is signed with exactly this kind of shield. The artwork borrows that visual language to explore regional geography and the everyday function of infrastructure signage. MG-075 does not appear in the official state highway lists, and the piece is built around that gap, borrowing the system's logic without claiming a specific road. Similar numbering appears in São Paulo as SP-075, which underlines how these markers become symbols of local identity and connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTurned in Your Hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is a thing you turn while you drink, so the shield will come round into view with every sip and every quarter-turn of the handle. Black on white reads clearly from across a kitchen table, which suits a gift for the road-trip friend, the early-morning driver or anyone who plans their week by the map. Give it with a coffee, a tea or a hot chocolate, and let the route do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182769398040,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG075-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182769430808,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG075-15OZ-1FROR","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-075-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG075-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794194271","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-075-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
