MN-228 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design replicates the historical road sign of Minnesota State Highway 228 (MN-228), a decommissioned state highway in west-central Minnesota.

Design Elements

The artwork centers around a classic Minnesota state highway shield. The primary element is a bold "228" displayed prominently within a blue shield. The number is rendered in a gold (yellow) sans-serif font, adhering to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) standards for legibility and aesthetic consistency across all state highway markers.

Color Palette

The design utilizes the standard colors of Minnesota state highway markers: a deep blue background complemented by gold (yellow) lettering and a gold border. This familiar color combination immediately identifies the design with the state's transportation system and invokes a sense of state pride.

Meaning and Symbolism

The visual representation of the "228" number inside the blue shield represents the original function of MN-228 as a local connector. The shot glass serves as a small emblem of the road's history and its role in connecting two state highways for local traffic. While the road itself is no longer maintained by the state, the design of the shot glass is a symbol of Minnesota’s history and road system.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
