Old Texas 53 (Texas) Road Sign STICKER - Design Overview

This sticker presents a nostalgic glimpse into Texas history, capturing the essence of the now-decommissioned Texas State Highway 53. The design showcases two distinct historical road sign styles, allowing a collector to celebrate different eras of Texas road design.

1920s Texas-Outline Shield

The sticker prominently features the original 1920s Texas highway marker. This design is a white background which has a bold, black silhouette of the state of Texas. Within the outline of the state is a large, central "53," denoting the highway number. The word "TEXAS" is elegantly placed along the bottom, providing the geographical context and establishing the sign's origin.

This classic design embodies Texas pride and the early days of automobile travel. The Texas outline is a strong symbol of state identity, and the highway number signals a path of journey and exploration across the state.

1930s-40s Circle-in-Square Shield

The sticker also incorporates the road sign style used as the highway's presence on maps was being phased out. This version is a black square encompassing a white circle. The numeral "53" is displayed in black within the circle, and the word "TEXAS" is printed underneath, again confirming its location.

This sign style is a visual representation of the transition period in the highway's existence, a marker of both time and the end of the road. It shows a dedication to history, and signifies that though the road was ending, it would not be forgotten.

Overall Design

The sticker design is a tribute to the memory of Texas State Highway 53. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original road sign aesthetics, serving as a reminder of the state's rich transportation history. The inclusion of the two distinctive styles allows for a more comprehensive appreciation of the highway's legacy, highlighting the evolution of road signage through the decades.

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.
