WIS 68 (Wisconsin) Road Sign Coffee Mug Design

Historical Inspiration

This coffee mug design is a faithful recreation of the iconic WIS 68 road sign from the early days of Wisconsin's highway system. The design pays homage to a short-lived, but historically significant, state route in Dodge County, offering a glimpse into the state's transportation past.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The mug features the classic square shape of the Wisconsin highway shield. The design adheres to the established standards of the 1920s-1940s signage. The primary color is a bright white, forming the background, providing a clean and easily recognizable foundation. A thin, black border elegantly frames the design, setting off the internal elements.

The upper portion of the design proudly displays the word "WISCONSIN" in small, uppercase black letters, a nod to the state that created the route. Below, centered on the white square, is the prominent number "68" in a bold, black font. This number is the core element of the design, clearly identifying the former state highway.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a piece of Wisconsin's history. It is a symbol of the state's investment in infrastructure, progress, and the evolution of its road network. The "WISCONSIN 68" design signifies a connection between Waupun and Fox Lake, a local route that once facilitated travel and commerce.

The simplicity of the design, with its use of black and white, underscores the straightforward and functional nature of early road signage. It represents a commitment to clarity and ease of navigation, a timeless design philosophy still relevant today.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
