A thin grey accent adds a little tonal depth without breaking the flat, graphic look. The shield is centred and unfussy, with nothing around it but open space. The lettering is bold and evenly spaced, so the marker reads instantly from a few steps away, the way a real sign does from a passing car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute shields are the language of the road. Their shapes and numbers tell a driver where they are and where a road leads, and this one carries the code of a Brazilian state highway. The \u003cstrong\u003eRJ\u003c\/strong\u003e prefix identifies the state of Rio de Janeiro, and \u003cstrong\u003e216\u003c\/strong\u003e is the route number within it. The artwork is a modern, utilitarian nod to that signage tradition, distilled into a single clean emblem. It is a reminder that the most useful graphics are often the simplest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the shield will travel around the curve of the cup rather than sit square to the eye. Each glance catches a different part of the marker, until the full number comes back into view. The pentagon's sharp corners and bold black outline suit a cup that is held close and handled daily, making this a cheeky pick for anyone who spends more time on the open road than at a desk, or who simply loves a good road trip with their morning brew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53181931192600,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RJ216-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53181931225368,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RJ216-15OZ-1FRDX","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/rj-216-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-RJ216-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794189412","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/rj-216-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
