Nothing competes for attention. The composition is direct and uncluttered, so the code and the country read in a single glance, as a traveller would take in a sign while moving past it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoad signs exist to direct, and this one directs toward Brazil. The code is the detail that rewards a closer look: \u003cstrong\u003eRJ\u003c\/strong\u003e is the standard abbreviation for Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's states, so the identifier points to a specific region within the country rather than to the nation as a whole. The design therefore carries two layers at once, a national identity and a regional one, both stated plainly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReading the Sign on a Mixing Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA road sign is built to be seen from a distance, but this design is meant to be seen up close. Set on a mixing glass, it is read at the level of the hand, turned slowly while the drink is poured or stirred. Each turn brings the next part of the sign into view, so the journey it describes is one the glass makes with you, one pass at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53135981805848,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-RJ124-16OZ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/rj-124-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-RJ124-16OZ-front.webp?v=1793750418","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/rj-124-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
