Virginia 147 1956 Road Sign - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal features the iconic 1956 design of the Virginia Route 147 road sign, a visual emblem of Virginia's highway system during the mid-20th century.

Design Elements

The artwork replicates the classic state highway marker. The design is centered around the distinctive shape of Virginia itself – a white shield meticulously cut in the outline of the state. A thin black border cleanly defines the state's edges.

Across the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is boldly displayed in black capital letters. This reinforces the sign's geographic context, clearly identifying the state.

Dominating the center of the design is the route number "147", rendered in large, black numerals. This number acts as the primary identifier, indicating the specific route.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design represents a connection to a specific time in Virginia's history, during an era of significant highway development. The state-outline shape is more than just a shape; it's a symbol of place and belonging, a visual representation of Virginia itself. This design became a standard and gave the state highways their distinct branding.

The sign embodies a standardized aesthetic, reflecting a commitment to order and clarity in the state's transportation network. It signifies a point of reference for travelers navigating the Commonwealth, guiding them along their chosen route with clear and easily recognizable 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.
