A single pentagonal shield sits at the centre, its outline drawn cleanly so the shape reads instantly. Inside it, the letters MG sit above the numerals 261, set large and square with no ornament. Nothing competes with the shield, so the eye lands on the code first and the shape second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute markers like this one are the everyday language of Brazilian highways. The shield tells a driver which state road they are on, and the MG prefix pins that road to Minas Gerais, one of the country's largest states, known for its mountains, colonial towns and inland roads. The design takes that utilitarian sign out of the roadside and puts it on a mug, turning a working piece of transport signage into a quiet nod to Brazilian travel and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTurning the Shield in Your Hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road sign suits a mug because a mug is turned as it is drunk. Each rotation brings the MG and the 261 back into view, so the shield works as a small, repeating reminder of a road you have driven or one you are planning to. For the road-trip fan or anyone with Brazil on their mind, it is a cheeky way to start the morning, and a clever gift for someone who never stops thinking about the next journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182653169944,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG261-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182653202712,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG261-15OZ-1FRIQ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-261-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG261-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794191514","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-261-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
