I-70 MD 1957 (Maryland) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically recreates the classic 1957 I-70 MD Interstate highway sign, a piece of American road history. The design is a bold statement of clarity and purpose, reflecting the era when the Interstate system was being born.

Iconic Visual Elements

The central design element is the shield shape, a powerful symbol of protection and guidance. The top banner, a striking red, features the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, immediately announcing the road's national significance. This bold color choice conveys a sense of urgency and importance.

The "70" and Color Symbolism

The heart of the design is the large white "70" numeral, prominently displayed on a vibrant blue field. This number represents the specific highway, instantly recognizable to travelers. The blue backdrop, a key element of the Interstate system's design, symbolizes reliability, trust, and the vast open road ahead. The contrast of white numerals on blue offers optimal legibility, a crucial aspect of highway signage.

Maryland Connection

This decal represents the Maryland portion of the highway. While the early version may or may not include the state's name, the I-70 design, as a whole, represents the idea of progress and of connectivity as the highway was and is the most important link between the state's eastern and western regions.

A Classic Aesthetic

The overall aesthetic is intentionally simple and uncluttered, a hallmark of mid-century design. The clean lines, bold colors, and clear typography create a timeless visual impact, perfectly capturing the spirit of American highway construction.

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.
