The shield sits centred and upright, its five-sided outline reading instantly as a road marker. Two lines of text run across it: \u003cstrong\u003eMG\u003c\/strong\u003e above and \u003cstrong\u003e167\u003c\/strong\u003e below, set bold and evenly spaced so the numerals are the clear focal point. There is no ornament or background scene, just the sign itself, drawn with clean edges and flat colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMG is the abbreviation for Minas Gerais, one of Brazil's largest states, and the number 167 identifies this particular state route within its network. Route shields like this one are built to be read at a glance from a moving vehicle, which is why the design is so stripped back. It is a small piece of everyday infrastructure lifted out of the road and made into something you can hold, a quiet nod to the miles of highway that connect towns across the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTurning the Design Into a Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the shield rotates into view as you drink, with the MG and 167 coming round to meet your eye on each sip. The pentagon's sharp corners sit neatly against the curve of the wall, and the high-contrast lettering stays legible from across the table. It is a sign that greets you every morning, and a gift for anyone who has ever followed a road trip map with a cup in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182832967960,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG167-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182833000728,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG167-15OZ-1FRRA","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-167-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG167-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794195685","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-167-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
