OH-255 1927 (Ohio) (Road Sign) STICKER - Design Description

This sticker presents a faithful visual representation of the iconic 1927 Ohio State Route 255 road sign. It's a striking homage to a pivotal moment in Ohio's highway history, capturing the essence of a design that became a beloved symbol of the state.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The primary element is a meticulously rendered cut-out of the state of Ohio itself, recognizable by its distinctive shape. This outline forms the shape of the sign and serves as its foundation, painted with a classic white background.

Centrally positioned within the Ohio outline is the route number "255," rendered in bold, black, block numerals. The font choice reflects the utilitarian yet clear design aesthetic of the era.

Adding context and historical accuracy, the word "OHIO" appears in small, black lettering, placed above or below the route number. This inscription not only identifies the state but also helps differentiate the sign from U.S. routes.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design’s power resides in its immediate recognizability. The Ohio-shaped shield is a powerful visual cue that instantly links the sign to the state. It represents a connection to place, embodying Ohio’s identity and its infrastructure.

The combination of the state outline, the route number, and the state name creates a concise, instantly understandable message: this is Ohio State Route 255. It embodies the clarity and efficiency of early road signage, when signage had to communicate quickly to drivers.

This sticker is more than a simple representation; it is a snapshot of Ohio history, a visual tribute to an era of innovation and progress in transportation.

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.
