At its centre sits the number \u003cstrong\u003e61\u003c\/strong\u003e, set inside a double-outlined shield with a scalloped top edge. The flat vector treatment keeps every line crisp, and the composition is deliberately minimal: one emblem, one number, and nothing to distract the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shield was the definitive marker of national roads in Colombia, a heraldic-style emblem that announced a route as part of the state's transport network. Route 61 ran through the Boyacá department, starting in Guayatá and passing through the provinces of Oriente, Neira and Sugamuxi before reaching Santa Teresa in Paz del Río, linking isolated municipalities to the departmental capital of Tunja. It was formally de-designated as a national route under resolution 5471 of 1999 and later passed to departmental control. That shift is what gives the emblem its nostalgic weight: it is a relic of a national road status that no longer applies, often seen on weathered signs along roads now managed locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Your Morning Brew\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the shield and its numeral travel around the curve and come into view one piece at a time, the way a roadside sign appears as you drive past it. Set it on the desk beside a book on Colombian history, or hand it to a friend who has spent a few too many mornings on the back roads of Boyacá.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53170891620632,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RTC61-11OZ","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53170891653400,"sku":"GMY-MUG-RTC61-15OZ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/rutacol-61-colombia-road-sign-white-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-RTC61-11OZ-front.webp?v=1794021234","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/rutacol-61-colombia-road-sign-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
