The pentagonal outline is drawn twice, once as the outer shape and again as an inner border, so the eye moves inward toward the centre. The letters MG sit above the number 165, both set in bold black type with no ornament. Nothing competes with them: no gradients, no photographic texture, just clean vector edges and a single clear message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pentagon is the signature shape of Brazilian state route markers, and MG identifies Minas Gerais, the state whose roads it names. Route 165 is a road number, a piece of wayfinding that tells a driver where they are and where they are heading. The design is therefore a small piece of everyday infrastructure, lifted out of the road and given the job of a keepsake. Its modern, utilitarian style reflects the functional signage it draws from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Mug in Your Hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as you drink, so the pentagon will rotate with every sip, bringing MG and 165 into view one moment at a time. The outline sits well on a curved surface because its straight edges read clearly at every angle. For anyone who has ever followed a rural Brazilian road by its numbered signs, this is a fitting thing to keep on the desk and reach for every morning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182831624472,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG165-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182831657240,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG165-15OZ-1FRR8","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-165-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG165-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794195633","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-165-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
