{"product_id":"sp-544-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","title":"SP-544 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSP-544 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis design takes a Brazilian road route marker and sets it, flat and unfussy, across the full face of the mug: a pentagon bearing the state code \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e and the route number \u003cstrong\u003e544\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhite dominates the design, covering roughly 85% of the field, with black making up the rest. A bold black pentagon outline sits at the centre, with a second, inner pentagon tracing its edge, so the shape reads as a sign border within a sign. The letters SP sit in the upper part of the pentagon and the numerals 544 below them, both drawn in the same clean, blocky strokes. The artwork is flat vector with no shading, gradients or decorative detail, so every line stays crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoute markers are the quiet language of the open road. The pentagon announces a numbered highway, and the state code tells you which part of the country you have entered. SP is the code for São Paulo state, and the number 544 identifies a single route within its network. The design takes the most ordinary piece of road infrastructure and gives it the attention usually reserved for landmarks. It is a Brazilian motif built from everyday signage, not from monuments or myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Suits a Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the design unfolds as you rotate it. The pentagon wraps the curve and its numerals come round one at a time, much like reading signs from a car window as the miles pass. It makes a fitting gift for the friend who always takes the wheel, the one who knows every interchange, or anyone with a road trip or a connection to Brazil to remember over a morning coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53181115957528,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP544-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53181115990296,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP544-15OZ-1FQUY","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/sp-544-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-SP544-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794178503","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/sp-544-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
