I-70 WV Metric (Virginia) (Road Sign) Sticker: Design Deconstructed

This sticker presents a compelling paradox in its design. The core visual element is an Interstate 70 road sign, a familiar icon instantly recognizable to any traveler in the United States. Its traditional red, white, and blue shield houses the prominent numerals "70" in bold, white lettering, the standard format for Interstate signage.

The Absence of Metric

The sticker's unique charm lies in its implied meaning and subtle humor. It represents something that *doesn't* exist: a metric version of the I-70 sign in West Virginia or Virginia. The absence of metric measurement—the use of kilometers instead of miles—serves as the primary statement. It highlights the historical reality that these states never adopted metric signage on their Interstates. The parenthesis "(Virginia)" further emphasizes the geographic context, indicating the sign's intended location.

Symbolism of Non-Existence

The overall design plays on the contrast between expectation and reality. The Interstate sign, a symbol of established roadways and standardized travel, is subtly subverted. It represents the historical failure to fully adopt the metric system in the U.S. and, by extension, the quirks and complexities of American road systems. This design is a wry commentary on the unusual, a nod to the metric system's limited presence on select roadways.

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.
