N-104 1950 (Nebraska) (Road Sign) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal: Design Description

This decal presents a faithful recreation of the N-104 road sign as it would have appeared on Nebraska's state highways in 1950, a period of significant postwar improvements and standardization in signage. The design focuses solely on the visual elements of this classic piece of Americana.

Signage Elements

The central element is the shield itself, rendered in the characteristic color palette of the 1950s Nebraska highway system. The exact shade of white or yellow, representative of the state's postwar style, provides the background for the sign's crucial identifiers. The bold "N" prominently indicates a Nebraska state highway, grounding the design in its geographic and functional context.

At the heart of the design, the number "104" is boldly displayed in a standardized font, chosen for its legibility and adherence to the era's focus on clear communication. This number signifies the specific route, guiding motorists through the state and connecting communities.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to a moment in history where infrastructure and automobile travel were rapidly transforming the American landscape. The N-104 road sign symbolizes the evolution of road systems, the rise of the automobile, and the importance of efficient transportation in connecting people and places. It represents a commitment to organized travel and the state's vision for a connected future.

The decal's visual style, with its clean lines and specific color choices, evokes the nostalgia of the 1950s – a time of optimism, progress, and the freedom of the open road. The carefully rendered details celebrate a classic piece of design that was critical to the operation of Nebraska's highway system.

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.
