The pentagon sits centred and upright, its outline drawn as a heavy black edge that defines the whole shape. Inside, the letters \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e sit small above the larger numerals \u003cstrong\u003e735\u003c\/strong\u003e, stacked in the same bold black. Nothing decorative intrudes. The flat vector style keeps every line crisp and every element working for the message, with no shading or ornament to soften it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA route marker is a piece of plain information built for speed. Drivers glance at it from a moving vehicle and need to recognise it at once, which is why the design is so stripped back. \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e names the state of São Paulo, the most populous state in Brazil, and \u003cstrong\u003e735\u003c\/strong\u003e is the number that identifies this particular road within the state network. The artwork therefore carries a whole piece of regional geography in two short lines, and its utilitarian simplicity is exactly what gives it character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Black Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is never seen all at once. It is turned in the hand, rotated a little with each sip, so the pentagon arrives in pieces and then resolves as the mug comes round again. The black border frames the white face against the dark body of the cup, and the numerals catch the eye each time the mug is lifted. Keep it for your own morning, or pass it across the table to a friend who has spent time on Brazilian roads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53181219995928,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP735-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53181220028696,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP735-15OZ-1FR09","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/sp-735-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-SP735-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794182898","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/sp-735-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
