Virginia 149 (1956) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker recreates the iconic Virginia Route 149 road sign as it appeared in 1956. The design is a direct representation of a piece of Virginia's transportation history and a familiar sight to anyone traveling the Commonwealth's roads during the mid-20th century.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The artwork centers on the distinctive silhouette of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This state outline shape is the heart of the design, instantly identifying the location and route. The sign is rendered in the style of 1956, without the use of reflective sheeting.

The background of the sign is a flat, non-reflective white, mimicking the painted metal of the original sign. This provides a clean backdrop for the bold black details. A crisp black outline defines the state's boundaries, giving the design a clear and defined form.

The top of the design features the word "VIRGINIA" in small, uppercase black block letters. The route number, "149", dominates the center of the design in a large, bold, black font. The simplicity of the typography mirrors the functional aesthetic of road signage, making it easily legible and instantly recognizable.

Representation & Symbolism

The design serves as a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era of road travel. The Virginia state outline, which has been in use since 1928, is a symbol of the Commonwealth itself, representing a sense of place and regional pride. The classic color scheme and bold typography contribute to its visual impact.

The sign embodies the practical purpose of wayfinding, but the distinct style has grown to represent Virginia's identity as a state with a rich history, with an instantly recognizable design that sets it apart.

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.
