Virginia 156 (1980) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically recreates the iconic Virginia Route 156 road sign as it appeared in the 1980s. The design pays homage to a classic piece of Virginia's transportation history, reflecting the state's enduring commitment to its unique identity.

Visual Representation

The artwork centers around the distinctive outline of the Commonwealth of Virginia itself, a shape instantly recognizable to residents and visitors alike. This is more than just a shape; it's a visual emblem of the state, representing its borders, its geography, and its identity.

Color Palette and Elements

The design adheres to the standard road sign conventions of the era. A stark white background, achieved through the use of reflective sheeting, ensures optimal visibility during nighttime conditions. A bold black border, mirroring the state outline, further defines the shape and provides visual contrast. Centered within this framework is the route number: "156," rendered in large, bold black numerals, ensuring clear readability at a distance.

Above the route number, the word "VIRGINIA" is printed in black, completing the design and clearly identifying the authority of the sign. The use of black on white provides a high-contrast visual that is simple and effective.

Meaning and Symbolism

The entire design represents the state's system of roadways and serves a functional purpose, guiding travelers. The inclusion of the state outline highlights the importance of the Commonwealth of Virginia and its place on the roads. The specific route number, 156, denotes a specific path, and the sign collectively signifies the intersection of wayfinding, state pride, and clear communication on Virginia’s highways.

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.
