Indiana 313 (1955) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker presents a faithful recreation of the 1955 Indiana 313 road sign, a design emblematic of mid-20th century highway signage in the state. The artwork captures a piece of Indiana's transportation history, specifically reflecting the evolution of road marking conventions during the period. The design encapsulates a specific moment in time when standardization met regional identity.

A Classic Indiana Silhouette

At the heart of the design is the stylized outline of the State of Indiana. This form, a tall rectangle with its distinctive notched lower-right corner, immediately identifies the state. The shape itself serves as the primary visual symbol, grounding the design in place and history. The use of the state's outline reinforces local pride and geographic context, instantly connecting the viewer to Indiana.

Color and Typography

The design utilizes a classic color scheme typical of the era: a white reflective background, a bold black outline that follows the shape of the state, and black lettering. The word "INDIANA" is placed across the top in a clear, uppercase font, signifying authority and purpose. Centered below, the highway number "313" is presented in a bold, easily readable numeral, crucial for navigation. The typography choices are designed for clarity and visual impact, allowing for quick and accurate identification of the route.

Historical Significance

This sticker's design evokes the 1950s, a period of infrastructure development. The 1955 design is a transitional design, bridging the past and present. The appearance of this sign communicates the era's focus on standardized signage while maintaining a unique state-specific visual. As a result, the design offers a tangible link to a bygone era of American road travel and state-level infrastructure development.

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.
