About this design
Sichuan Expwy S17 sign no name
Sichuan Expwy S17 sign no name (China) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes a single road marker from Sichuan province, China, and renders it as a clean, flat graphic with the S17 expressway designation at its centre.
Visual Elements & Composition
Green dominates the artwork, filling most of the field and giving the sign a deep, grounded presence. Yellow sits as the second strong note, framing the rounded rectangle and setting the route identifier apart. Small touches of white and black provide the crisp contrast that makes the lettering read at a glance. The layout is a horizontal two-band panel, with the composition held tightly around the S17 numerals and the Chinese characters for "expressway" (高速) and the province's own marker script (川). Nothing is decorative: every shape exists to be understood quickly from a moving vehicle, and the flat vector treatment keeps that clarity intact.
Meaning & Symbolism
Expressway shields like this one are the language of long-distance travel. The S17 designation tells a driver exactly where they are in a networked system of routes, and the regional script marks the road as part of Sichuan's own network. The design carries themes of infrastructure, logistics and movement, turning a utilitarian object into a quiet record of how the region connects. It belongs to the modern era of standardised signage, where a few colours and a number do the work of a map.
Made for the Moment of Pouring
A shot glass is small, held close and lifted at the end of a long evening, so the sign sits right at eye level as the glass is raised. Its bold green and yellow read clearly against the glass whether it is full or empty, and the S17 numerals reward a second look while the drink is set down. It is a fitting pick for anyone who has spent hours on a highway and wants a souvenir of the road that got them there.

- When you order 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.
