The pentagon sits centred and upright, its inner black border framing the message so the eye lands straight on the code. The letters MG are stacked above the number 302, and nothing else competes for attention. The result is plain, legible and deliberately uncluttered, the way road signage is meant to be read at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prefix MG identifies this as a state highway in Minas Gerais, one of Brazil's largest states, and the marker is a small piece of its transport system. Minas Gerais has the largest road network in Brazil, spanning federal, state and municipal roads, and state routes are organised into radial, north-south, east-west, diagonal and link highways. The Department of Roads of Minas Gerais, DER-MG, is the state agency that plans, builds, maintains and operates that network. The artwork is a tribute to that infrastructure, which connects communities across the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Route Meets the Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand and read from the side, so the shield's bold pentagon wraps around the curve and the MG and 302 come round one face at a time, like a sign passed at speed. It makes a cheeky companion for a morning brew, a nod to every road trip that started with a coffee on the dashboard. Pour in something hot, and this little roadside marker keeps you company on the way to wherever the day is headed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182676271384,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG302-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182676304152,"sku":"GMY-MUG-MG302-15OZ-1FRJW","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/mg-302-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-MG302-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794192057","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/mg-302-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
