Arkansas 176 1970 (Arkansas) (Road Sign) Sticker: Design Overview

This sticker recreates the official road sign of Arkansas Highway 176 as it appeared in 1970. The design is a faithful representation of the state's highway signage from that era.

Design Elements

The artwork centers around a classic representation of the state of Arkansas itself. This silhouette forms the primary shape and immediately identifies the geographical context. The bold, black border surrounding the state’s outline provides a strong visual definition, ensuring the design is easily recognizable.

Color and Typography

The design utilizes a stark, high-contrast color scheme. The background within the Arkansas outline is crisp white, creating a clean backdrop for the black text and numerals. The word "ARKANSAS", rendered in bold, uppercase black lettering, arches across the top. Beneath this, the route number, "176", is displayed prominently in large, bold black numerals. The use of this specific typeface reinforces the historical accuracy of the design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The sticker design is laden with symbolism related to state identity and transportation. The inclusion of the Arkansas state outline signifies a connection to the state, while the road sign aesthetic evokes a sense of journey, connectivity, and the infrastructure that supports travel. The specific route number, "176", adds a layer of personalization and can be interpreted as a nod to a specific road, locality, or even personal memory.

The overall design is a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era of highway signage, representing a simple but powerful visual vocabulary of place and mobility within the state of Arkansas.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
