A pentagon sits at the centre of the frame, with a second, nested pentagon outline inset within it, so the eye moves inward from the edge to the numerals. White dominates the field, with black providing the outline and lettering. The \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e sits above the number \u003cstrong\u003e525\u003c\/strong\u003e, both set in a plain, upright style with no ornament. Nothing competes with the sign, and the lack of decoration is the point of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoute shields are the markers drivers follow across a country, and this one speaks the language of Brazilian highways. \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e is the abbreviation for the state of São Paulo, and 525 is the route number that identifies a specific road within it. The design is modern in its visual language, borrowing the clarity of traffic signage to suggest movement, distance and the journey from one place to the next. It celebrates Brazil through its roads rather than through any historical or political narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is a object you turn in your hands, so the sign never appears all at once. Rotate it slowly and the pentagon travels around the curve, the route number rising into view and disappearing again, like a sign glimpsed from a passing car. It makes a fine gift for anyone who has ever drawn a route on a map with a finger or counted down the exits on a long drive, and a warm reminder of the road each morning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53181324067096,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP525-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53181324099864,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP525-15OZ-1FR5J","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/sp-525-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-SP525-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794185716","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/sp-525-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
