{"product_id":"mg-177-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","title":"MG-177 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug","description":"\u003ch1\u003eMG-177 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is a flat, graphic route marker: a pentagonal shield with a black border, carrying the numerals and letters that identify a state highway in Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite dominates the artwork, covering most of its surface, with black providing the outline and the lettering. The shield is a pentagon, and a thin inner border line runs parallel to its edge, so the shape reads like a badge set inside a frame. The letters \u003cstrong\u003eMG\u003c\/strong\u003e sit above the number \u003cstrong\u003e177\u003c\/strong\u003e, both set in bold, plain type with nothing decorative added. The composition is stripped back to shape, contrast and text, which gives the design its crisp, instantly readable look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marker belongs to the road-signage system of Minas Gerais, the Brazilian state whose initials form the \u003cstrong\u003eMG\u003c\/strong\u003e prefix. Each route in that system carries a designation of this kind, so the sign tells a driver where they are and which road they are on. Taken out of the roadside context, the badge becomes a compact emblem of Brazilian travel and of the everyday signage that guides people across a region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is held in the hand and turned slowly while the coffee cools, so the shield passes across the eye in pieces rather than all at once. The pentagon's corners and the bold \u003cstrong\u003e177\u003c\/strong\u003e catch the light as the cup rotates, and the high-contrast black and white stays legible from the handle side as well as the front. It is a fitting design for someone who likes a long drive, a road trip story, or a map on the kitchen wall, and the cup gives that sign a place to be read every morning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182838014232,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG177-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182838047000,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG177-15OZ-1FRRK","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-177-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG177-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794195850","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-177-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
