OH-274 1967 (Ohio) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This vinyl sticker replicates the classic 1967 Ohio State Route 274 road sign, a testament to mid-century modern design principles in road signage. The artwork embodies a streamlined approach, prioritizing clarity and immediate recognition.

Design Elements & Representation

The core of the design is the unmistakable shape of the state of Ohio, used as a shield. This form serves as a direct geographical identifier, immediately signaling that the route is within the state's boundaries. The use of a shield shape hints at the idea of protection and guidance, core functions of a road sign.

At the center, bold black numerals "274" command attention. These digits, rendered in a standardized font, represent the specific route number. Their prominence ensures effortless identification, even at a distance and under various lighting conditions. This straightforward numerical display underscores the sign’s primary function: conveying essential information quickly.

The color scheme is stark and functional. A clean white background provides a neutral canvas, allowing the bold black of the Ohio outline and route number to stand out. This high-contrast approach enhances visibility and readability, reflecting the design's focus on practicality and driver safety.

Era & Meaning

This design embodies the design ethos of the 1960s, a period marked by simplicity, clarity, and the embrace of modern materials. The clean lines and clear communication style symbolize order, efficiency, and a forward-thinking approach to infrastructure and public services. It represents a moment in time when states were updating their road signage after the 1956 introduction of the Interstate 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.
