About this design
Sichuan Expwy S17 sign no name
Sichuan Expwy S17 sign no name (China) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes a single route marker from the Sichuan road network and renders it as a clean, flat graphic, with the S17 designation sitting squarely at the centre of the composition.
Visual Elements & Composition
Green dominates the artwork, filling most of the field, with yellow taking a strong secondary role in the rounded rectangular panel. White and black appear only in small accents, enough to sharpen the lettering and edges. The layout is a horizontal two-band panel: the upper band carries the Chinese characters 川, 高 and 速, which read as Sichuan expressway, while the S17 route number anchors the lower band in bold, evenly spaced form. Nothing decorative interrupts the layout. Every element is there to be read at a glance, which is exactly how expressway signage is designed to work.
Meaning & Symbolism
The sign belongs to China's provincial expressway system, where each route carries an alphanumeric code that drivers use to navigate. The S prefix marks it as a provincial route, and the number places it within the Sichuan network. The artwork celebrates that system of standardised marking, the quiet logic that lets a stranger find their way across a vast province. It reflects themes of infrastructure, logistics and travel, and presents modern transport as a set of carefully considered visual conventions rather than mere roadside clutter.
Made for the Glass in Your Hand
A pint glass is tall and curved, so the design wraps around the vessel rather than sitting flat on it. As the glass turns in your hand, the band of yellow and green rotates into view and the S17 route number passes by at each turn, a little like watching a road unfold past a car window. It is a fitting pairing for a drinks gift: a piece of road identity to raise over a conversation on the way home.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.
These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.
Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.
- Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
- Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
- Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
- Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
- Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.
Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.
- Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
- Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
- Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.
Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.
These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.
Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
