Iowa 94 (1926) Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey Through Iowa's Past

This vinyl decal showcases the iconic visual language of early 20th-century Iowa highways. The design is a faithful representation of the Iowa 94 state highway sign as it appeared in 1926, a key year in both Iowa's road system and the burgeoning field of standardized road signage.

The Circular Shield: A Symbol of State Identity

At the heart of the design is a circular shield, a classic shape that instantly conveys a sense of official designation and belonging. This shape was a deliberate choice by the Iowa Department of Transportation to represent the authority of the state in managing its roadways.

Black and White: Simplicity and Clarity

The black-and-white color scheme reflects the simplicity and practicality of early road signage. The contrast between the colors was intended to ensure maximum visibility for drivers on the roads, improving clarity and efficiency on roadways.

"Iowa" and the Route Number: Directness and Function

At the top of the sign, the word "Iowa" is prominently displayed, grounding the sign in its geographic context. The route number, "94," is positioned at the bottom of the shield, serving its essential purpose: identifying the specific highway for travelers. Together, these elements provided the necessary information needed to navigate the early state highway system in the state.

A Collector's Piece

This decal design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of travel, evoking images of the open road and regional connectivity. The inclusion of the "Iowa" label at the top indicates not only the locale, but the importance of state-controlled highways.

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.
