Nothing competes with it. The layout is stripped back to one focal point, so the eye lands on the sign and reads it straight through, the way a driver reads a sign from the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road sign exists to direct and inform in an instant, and the artwork borrows that purpose. Turning the sign into a picture of Brazil marks the country as a destination, signposted the way travellers signpost every route: with a shape they recognise before they have read a word. The MG-268 designation sits alongside the name as a reference code, placing the piece as one identifiable item in its series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Mixing Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mixing glass is lifted, tilted and turned in the hand while it is stirred and poured, so the sign never sits still. Its straight-sided form carries the artwork around the vessel, and each turn brings a new stretch of lettering into view. It is a fitting piece for a round of drinks shared with someone who has spent a long time on the road, and a good conversation starter for anyone who has ever followed a sign to somewhere worth going.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53138101764376,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-MG268-16OZ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-268-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-MG268-16OZ-front.webp?v=1793765407","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-268-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
