Old Texas 43 (Texas) (Road Sign) Sticker - Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal pays homage to the historical signage of Old Texas State Highway 43. The design directly reflects the evolution of road markers along this East Texas route, capturing the distinct visual language of Texas highway history.

The Texas Outline Shield (1919-1920s)

The artwork opens with a faithful reproduction of the earliest SH 43 sign. A bold black silhouette of the State of Texas dominates the design, immediately establishing the location and context. Within the Texas outline, the number "43" is prominently displayed, signifying the specific highway designation. Below the outline, the word "TEXAS" is printed, further reinforcing the state's identity and affiliation.

The Circle-in-Square (1930s-1948)

The decal also captures the design of the 1930s-1948 signage, which is represented by a black square with a white circle inside. Centered within the circle, the number "43" clearly identifies the highway. "TEXAS" is positioned underneath, keeping with the state's established design language of that time period.

Modern Design

The design culminates with the contemporary SH 43 road sign, represented by a white rectangle with a black border. Within the rectangle, the number "43" is large and bold, creating a powerful visual impact. Beneath the number, "TEXAS" continues to affirm the highway's affiliation with the state, marking a consistent visual element carried through its design evolution.

The sticker’s overall design encapsulates the history of SH 43, portraying the road’s evolution through distinct sign designs. It's a visual journey through time, capturing the identity of an East Texas highway.

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.
