The pentagonal shield sits centred and unadorned, with no background scenery or extra ornament to compete with it. The letters RJ sit above the numerals 149, rendered in flat vector shapes with crisp edges. The result reads at a glance, like a sign you would pass at speed on a highway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shield is a state route marker for Rio de Janeiro, with RJ identifying the state and 149 the specific road. Road signage is a practical language of place, and this design lifts that everyday system into a statement of regional identity. Brazil sits at the heart of the piece, and the route number becomes a quiet emblem of home for anyone who knows the roads it names. The modern, flat treatment places it firmly in the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Your Daily Ritual\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA route shield is built to be read quickly, and a mug is built to be held close and turned in the hand. Rotate this one and the pentagon moves with you, so the white shape and the numerals stay in view from every angle of the handle. It is a small piece of Brazilian roadside design for the first coffee of the morning, a little cheeky in the way it turns a traffic sign into something you actually want to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53181756801304,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RJ149-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53181756834072,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RJ149-15OZ-1FRD3","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/rj-149-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-RJ149-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794188899","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/rj-149-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
