N-23 (1926) Nebraska Road Sign Sticker: A Slice of Highway History

Design Overview

This sticker captures the essence of early highway signage with its faithful recreation of the 1926 Nebraska Highway 23 (N-23) road sign. It offers a nostalgic glimpse into the birth of Nebraska's state highway system and the practical simplicity of its first-generation road markers.

Artwork Details

The design features a square, the standard shape used by Nebraska in 1926. The background is rendered in white, or a painted silver, providing a crisp contrast. A thick, bold black outline defines the edges of the square, providing visual definition.

The central element is the bold black number "23," prominently displayed in the center. The use of a simple, legible font reflects the utilitarian nature of the original signs, designed for quick and easy identification by drivers. The potential inclusion of "NEBRASKA" in small block letters, above or below the number, adds another layer of historical accuracy, though this element was not always consistently present on the original signage.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design serves as a visual testament to the early days of automotive travel and the infrastructure that supported it. The N-23 sign symbolized the establishment of a connected transportation network in Nebraska, facilitating movement and commerce across the state. The simplicity of the design reflects an era where functionality took precedence, and road signs served as straightforward guides.

The sticker itself is a tribute to the legacy of N-23, which is still in service today. It connects us to a time when navigating the open road was a new and exciting experience, and the humble road sign was a vital tool for exploration.

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.
