Pottawattamie County Route M47 IA Decal: Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the distinctive design of a Pottawattamie County Route sign in Iowa, specifically for Route M47. The artwork replicates the official county road markers used throughout the state, providing an instantly recognizable visual cue.

Sign Elements

The design features a pentagon shape, a standard for Iowa county route shields. The top or bottom of the pentagon is emblazoned with the county name, "POTTAWATTAMIE," immediately identifying its jurisdiction. Prominently displayed in the center is "M 47," the route designation in large, clear characters.

Color and Symbolism

The color scheme adheres to Iowa's standards as defined by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The background is a vibrant blue, set off by a crisp yellow border and yellow lettering. This color combination is symbolic: Blue represents roadways within a governmental body (the county). The yellow border and lettering provide high visibility, serving to clearly distinguish this road type from state or U.S. highways. This color scheme ensures quick visual differentiation when traveling.

Design Meaning

The entire design communicates its purpose: to officially designate and identify a county-maintained road. The "M" in "M47" symbolizes the road's classification within the county's north-south road naming scheme, while the number “47” is a unique identifier. Together, the design signals that the route is maintained by the Pottawattamie County Secondary Roads Department. The visual design is intentionally designed to convey information relevant for navigation and identification of the route.

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.
