Iowa 80 (1926) Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey

A Slice of Iowa History

This decal presents a faithful rendition of the Iowa 80 road sign as it appeared in 1926. The design is a direct echo of Iowa's early state highway system, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of motoring and road travel.

Classic Shield Design

The central visual element is a black-and-white circular shield, the quintessential format for Iowa’s primary highway markers in the 1920s. This shape signifies official designation and recognition, a clear statement of its role in the state's transportation network.

Words and Numbers

At the top of the shield, the word "Iowa" is prominently displayed, anchoring the design in its geographical context. The route number, "80," is positioned at the bottom. The simple yet effective arrangement of text conveys essential information about the road's identity.

Symbolism of the Road

The sign itself is a symbol of connectivity, linking towns and regions within the state. It represents the early development of Iowa's infrastructure and the spirit of exploration and travel prevalent in the Roaring Twenties. The design, with its straightforward approach and bold contrast, captures the enduring charm of vintage highway markers.

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.
