Virginia 172 (1924) Road Sign Decal: A Vintage Journey

This vinyl kiss-cut decal captures the essence of early 20th-century Virginia road signage, a testament to a bygone era of highway travel. The artwork faithfully recreates the iconic design of the 1924 Virginia Route 172 marker, offering a glimpse into the Commonwealth's pioneering days of state-numbered routes.

Design Elements: A Nod to History

The decal's defining characteristic is its shape: a precise cutout of Virginia's geographic outline. This distinctive form, prevalent in the 1920s, set Virginia’s road signs apart from the rest, reflecting a sense of state pride and identity.

Central to the design is the bold black route number "172," rendered in a clear, easy-to-read font. This numeral immediately identifies the road, providing essential information for travelers navigating the early highway system. Above or below the number, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in understated, small black block letters, adding an element of official confirmation and historical accuracy.

Color Scheme: A Classic Combination

The color palette of black text and numerals against a crisp white background echoes the classic aesthetic of the era. This high-contrast combination ensured maximum visibility for motorists, making it an effective and functional design choice for the time.

Symbolism: Echoes of the Past

More than just a sign, this decal symbolizes the evolution of Virginia's transportation infrastructure and the historical importance of the state’s early numbering system. It’s a visual reminder of the pioneering spirit of highway development, celebrating the Commonwealth's rich history and its commitment to progress.

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.
