OH-277 1960 (Ohio) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Overview

This sticker captures the essence of the 1960s Ohio Route 277 road sign, a visual marker of mid-century Americana. The design is a direct representation of the original sign, offering a glimpse into the state's historical road signage.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the recognizable silhouette of the state of Ohio. This shape, a tradition dating back to the 1920s, symbolizes the state itself, acting as a geographic identifier. The outline, while simplified compared to earlier versions, still incorporates the distinctive "notch" representing Lake Erie in the northeast, adding a touch of geographical accuracy.

The route number, "277," is prominently displayed within the Ohio outline. These bold, black block numerals are centered, providing clear and immediate identification of the road's designation. The font used is slightly narrower and less standardized compared to later designs, reflecting the aesthetic of the time.

The color palette is simple yet impactful. A white background provides a clean canvas, while the black outline and numerals create a strong contrast, ensuring optimal visibility. This straightforward color scheme is characteristic of the period and aids in the sign's legibility.

Meaning & Symbolism

The sticker's design embodies the spirit of 1960s Ohio road travel. The Ohio outline serves as a powerful symbol of state identity and place, while the route number signifies a specific path. This visual combination evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler era of driving, road trips, and the ever-present landscape of Ohio.

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.
