I-77 WV Metric (Virginia) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker presents a whimsical, yet impossible, visual: a representation of a fictional I-77 WV Metric road sign, specifically referencing the segment that would hypothetically run in Virginia. The design plays on the established visual language of U.S. Interstate signage.

Artwork and Visual Elements

At its core, the design mimics the iconic interstate shield. It utilizes the familiar red, white, and blue color palette, immediately associating the sticker with the U.S. Interstate system. The number "77" dominates the shield, rendered in the classic, bold white numerals against a blue background, instantly communicating the route designation.

The addition of the "WV" text, signifying West Virginia, in parenthesis, and the word "Metric" below the route number, creates the central contrast and humor. The use of "Metric" deliberately contradicts the historical reality of U.S. interstate signage in Virginia and West Virginia, where distances are always displayed in miles. This juxtaposition is the primary source of the design's playful commentary.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design, through its visual contradiction, symbolizes the unrealized potential of metrication in the U.S. highway system. It represents a hypothetical past or a parallel universe where the U.S. embraced the metric system more comprehensively. The design's appeal lies in its niche humor, referencing a specific aspect of transportation history and creating a statement about what could have been.

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.
