A black rectangle with softly rounded corners sits at the centre, and within it the character \u003cem\u003e宜\u003c\/em\u003e stands above the numerals \u003cem\u003e36\u003c\/em\u003e. Nothing else competes for attention. The vector style is clean and modern, with hard edges and no shading, so the sign reads instantly at any distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute markers are the everyday language of a road network, telling drivers which way they are heading without a word of explanation. The \u003cem\u003e36\u003c\/em\u003e identifies the route, while \u003cem\u003e宜\u003c\/em\u003e is the character used to abbreviate Yilan County, the region's name in Chinese. Together they turn a piece of roadside signage into a compact emblem of place, rooted in the island's own script and numbering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHolding the Sign in Your Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is a thing you turn, and this artwork rewards turning. The sign wraps the full curve of the cup, so each rotation brings the black rectangle and its character back into view, much like passing a marker from the window of a car. Hold it through a slow morning and the route keeps its place in front of you, one sign at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53160251261208,"sku":"GMY-MUG-TWTHW-11OZ-58","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/tw-thwil36-taiwan-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz-GMY-MUG-TWTHW-11OZ-58-front.webp?v=1793911800","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/tw-thwil36-taiwan-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
