OH-440 1960 (Ohio) Road Sign Decal: A Retro Road Marker

Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically recreates the classic OH-440 road sign design used in Ohio during the 1960s. The artwork is a direct visual representation of the standardized state route marker employed throughout the state at that time.

Key Visual Elements

The core of the design is a black square or rectangular panel, providing a bold and contrasting backdrop. Centered within this panel is a white silhouette of the state of Ohio, instantly identifying the sign's origin.

Positioned inside the Ohio silhouette is the route number: "440." These black numerals are presented in a bold and legible font, ensuring easy identification at a glance. The simplicity of the design reflects the era's focus on clear and straightforward communication.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's symbolism is rooted in its function: to guide motorists. The Ohio silhouette is a patriotic nod to the state, while the route number provides crucial navigational information. Together, they create an instantly recognizable and easily understood visual language, essential for safe and efficient travel.

The color scheme, with its stark contrast between black, white, and the Ohio silhouette, enhances readability. The overall aesthetic is a testament to the design principles of the era, where functionality and clarity were paramount in public signage.

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.
