The sign is a rounded rectangle edged by a black inner frame, which gives the shape a crisp, printed-edge look. The code \u003cstrong\u003eS096\u003c\/strong\u003e sits centred in black lettering and is the only text in the composition, so nothing competes with it. The style is flat and graphic, with no shading or ornament, so the sign reads at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoad signage exists to be understood instantly. A yellow field and black marks signal caution and direction to someone passing at speed, and this design keeps that function intact. The alphanumeric code S096 works as an identifier, much like a route or sign number that pins a single point along a long road. The title's reference to China ties the sign to a specific national road-sign system, while the name Shoudou carries the origin of the original artwork that this reproduction follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReading the Sign in Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shot glass is small and held close, lifted and tipped back in a single movement. The sign comes to the eye at arm's length and then right up against the rim, so the black border and the code are read at close range rather than from across a room. The rounded rectangle wraps the curve of the glass, and S096 turns with it as you hold it. It is a design made for a moment of close attention, which suits an object that is always handled up close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":53168983867672,"sku":"GMY-SHOT-SHDCHN-1P5OZ-1FLZB","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/shoudou-096china-china-road-sign-shot-glass-15oz-GMY-SHOT-SHDCHN-1P5OZ-1FLZB-front.webp?v=1793981248","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/shoudou-096china-china-road-sign-shot-glass-15oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
