{"product_id":"rj-153-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","title":"RJ-153 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug","description":"\u003ch1\u003eRJ-153 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pentagonal route shield holds the letters \u003cstrong\u003eRJ\u003c\/strong\u003e over the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e153\u003c\/strong\u003e, a plain piece of road signage rendered in flat, confident lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite dominates the artwork, filling most of the field around a single centred marker. The shield is outlined in solid black, and its black sans-serif lettering sits in two stacked lines: \u003cstrong\u003eRJ\u003c\/strong\u003e above \u003cstrong\u003e153\u003c\/strong\u003e. A little grey appears as a quiet accent, so nothing competes with the sign itself. The layout is symmetrical and uncluttered, with no decoration beyond the shield and its text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute markers like this one are how drivers find their way, turning a string of letters and numbers into a direction. The \u003cstrong\u003eRJ\u003c\/strong\u003e prefix points to Rio de Janeiro state in Brazil, and \u003cstrong\u003e153\u003c\/strong\u003e is the route number within that network. The design belongs to the modern tradition of minimalist transport graphics, where a shape and a code do all the work. It turns a functional road sign into a small, legible emblem of a particular place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCrafted for the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the shield's outline travels around the cup and reappears each time it is lifted. The stacked lettering reads cleanly at a glance, the way a sign does from a passing car. Keep this one close on a slow morning and let the route number do its quiet job of getting you somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53181792420120,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RJ153-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53181792452888,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RJ153-15OZ-1FRD7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/rj-153-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-RJ153-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794189008","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/rj-153-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
