About this design
Route départementale française 699
Route départementale française 699 (France) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design turns the designation of a single French departmental road into a bold, graphic emblem: the letter D and the number 699, set in black on amber yellow.
Visual Elements & Composition
Amber yellow fills most of the artwork, with black characters taking up the remaining space. The lettering sits centred inside a rounded rectangle, reading D 699 in clean, evenly weighted numerals. Nothing competes with the code. The flat vector style strips the image down to its essentials, so the eye lands on the characters first and the colour second. The result is a composition with the economy of a modern sign.
Meaning & Symbolism
The D prefix marks a route départementale, a road managed at departmental level within France's national network. The 699 is its identifying number, the reference that drivers, maps and local authorities use to pick one road out from thousands. The design celebrates that system of regional infrastructure, where a small local route carries as much identity as a motorway. Its neutral, informative mood suits the subject: this is a tribute to geography and the everyday workings of the road network.
Designed for a Closer Look
A shot glass is small and held close, so the design is seen at arm's length and at eye level, with the yellow face and black numerals filling the view as the glass is raised. The bold, minimal lettering reads at a glance, which suits a piece meant to be picked up, turned and passed around. Each time it is lifted, the D 699 comes into view, a small piece of French road history for the person holding it.

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.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- 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.
