{"product_id":"sp-889-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","title":"SP-889 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSP-889 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design takes the form of a single road route marker from Brazil, rendered as a clean, flat pentagon with its number set dead centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and white do all the work here. A nested pentagon outline sits inside the outer shape, giving the marker its layered, official-looking frame. The bold black numeral \u003cstrong\u003e889\u003c\/strong\u003e dominates the middle, with the state abbreviation \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e placed above it. Nothing else competes for attention: no gradients, no decoration, just crisp geometry and plenty of open space. The result reads quickly from a distance and rewards a closer look at the spacing of the letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute markers are the quiet language of the road, telling drivers where they are and where they are going. The \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e code identifies the state of São Paulo, Brazil's most populous state and one of its busiest transport corridors, while the number \u003cstrong\u003e889\u003c\/strong\u003e marks this particular route within the state network. The pentagonal shape is a deliberate piece of wayfinding design, built to be recognised at speed. Turning a signpost into a piece of graphic art celebrates that everyday functionality, and it is a wonderful nod for anyone who has ever followed a road trip on the open highway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHolding the Route in Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is a sign you read again and again, turned slowly in your hands as the morning goes on. As the cup rotates, the pentagon swings into view and the numeral comes round to meet your eye, so the marker is always just in front of you. It makes a cheeky gift for the friend who never misses a turning, or for anyone whose best journeys begin with a strong coffee and an open road.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53180886548760,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP889-11OZ-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53180886581528,"sku":"GMY-MUG-SP889-15OZ-1FQTF","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/sp-889-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-SP889-11OZ-2-front.webp?v=1794176903","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/sp-889-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
