The shield is a pentagon with a double-line border running around its edge, and the letters \"MG\" sit above the numerals \"280\" so the eye reads the state first and the route number second. Nothing decorative competes with the sign. It is flat vector work, with crisp edges and no shading, so the composition reads instantly from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marker carries no hidden code. \"MG\" stands for Minas Gerais, the Brazilian state where the road lies, and \"280\" is simply the number assigned within the state road network, much as interstate numbers work in other countries. The highway runs about 91 kilometres and links Viçosa with Alto Rio Doce, passing through Paula Cândido, Divinésia, Senador Firmino and Dores do Turvo. It matters to local farming, agribusiness and industry, and ongoing paving work is steadily improving its connections across the region. The original sign graphic follows standard Brazilian state road convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Hand That Holds Your Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as you drink, so the shield is seen in pieces: the lettering passes under your fingers, the border curves around the wall, and the sign reappears each time you lift it. Pair that with a morning coffee and you have a small, cheeky nod to the open road for the friend who is always planning the next trip, or the one who never quite made it past the first turn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182664835352,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG280-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182664868120,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG280-15OZ-1FRJA","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-280-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG280-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794191727","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-280-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
