OH-201 1960 (Ohio) Road Sign Decal: Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases a classic piece of Ohio road signage: the OH-201 1960 state route marker. The design is a faithful reproduction of the shield used to mark Ohio State Route 201 around the year 1960, a style defined by the state’s traffic control manual of that era.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element of the design is the outline of the state of Ohio, a recognizable shape that instantly identifies the geographical context. Within this state outline, the number "201" is prominently displayed, signifying the specific route. This placement within the state's borders emphasizes the route's connection to the state of Ohio.

The "1960" designation is a crucial part of the visual identity. It signifies the specific historical period and design style. This design choice speaks to a time when Ohio's highway signage had a particular visual language, and it gives the design a retro aesthetic. The design is a symbol of a time gone by in Ohio road travel.

Meaning & Significance

The design, as a whole, represents Ohio State Route 201 during the mid-20th century. For those familiar with Ohio's road system, the sign would have provided immediate information about the route. For collectors and enthusiasts, the design is a piece of Americana, a visual representation of the state's transportation history and a reference point to its evolving design language.

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.
