{"product_id":"sp-871-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","title":"SP-871 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSP-871 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is a white pentagon route marker on a black field, the shield-shaped sign that tells drivers which state highway they are on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and white do all the work here. White takes roughly seventy percent of the design, so the pentagon reads bright and crisp against the dark ground. A nested pentagon outline sits inside the main shape, giving the sign a layered, almost engraved edge. Across the centre, the letters \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e stack above the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e8\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e7\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e1\u003c\/strong\u003e, set plainly and without ornament. The style is flat vector, with no shading or texture to distract from the lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute markers are a quiet piece of national infrastructure. The code SP-871 identifies a specific highway in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and the shield shape is how Brazilian roads announce themselves to passing traffic. Painted on a road sign, it means direction, distance and the simple reassurance that you are still on the right path. Here, that everyday signage has been lifted out of the roadside and given a minimalist, modern treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Morning Ritual\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road sign is built to be read at a glance, and a mug is read the same way, over and over, each morning before the first sip. The pentagon sits square in the middle of the wall of the cup, so it faces you as you lift it, the lettering turning as you rotate the handle. Black and white on a black mug keeps the sign crisp and easy to pick out, and it makes a fine conversation starter for anyone who has ever driven a long Brazilian road.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53180879503640,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP871-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53180879536408,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP871-15OZ-1FQSX","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/sp-871-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-SP871-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794176501","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/sp-871-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
