The thick border is the strongest element and gives the shield its weight. Inside it, the letters \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e sit above the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e696\u003c\/strong\u003e, both in solid black and centred. The space around the shield is left empty, which keeps attention on the marker. The flat vector finish means every edge is sharp and the contrast holds up at small sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design reproduces a state route shield from São Paulo. \"SP\" names the state and \"696\" is the route number, so the artwork follows the labelling system used on the region's roads. The pentagon is the shape reserved for state routes, and drivers learn to pick it out from the surrounding signs. The design is a utilitarian piece, faithful to the signs it copies, and its modern, minimal character reflects the infrastructure it stands for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShaped for a Shot Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shot glass is small and held close, so the heavy border reads well at near range, and the bold numerals stay legible when the glass is lifted. The straight edges of the pentagon sit neatly against the glass's clean sides, and the black-on-white contrast carries clearly through the glass. It is a direct design for a small, direct object.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":53146284785944,"sku":"GMY-SHOT-SP696-1P5OZ","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/sp-696-brazil-road-sign-shot-glass-15oz-GMY-SHOT-SP696-1P5OZ-front.webp?v=1793815322","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/sp-696-brazil-road-sign-shot-glass-15oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
