Virginia 176 (1956) Road Sign Decal: A Timeless Design

This decal captures the essence of mid-20th-century Virginia road signage, presenting a faithful reproduction of the 1956 Virginia Route 176 marker. The design is instantly recognizable to those familiar with Virginia's highway history, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time on the open road.

The Iconic Shield

The central element of the design is the white, cut-out shape of the Commonwealth of Virginia itself. This distinctive silhouette, a bold and enduring symbol of the state, anchors the entire design. The state map shape is a visual shorthand for Virginia, making the sign immediately identifiable.

Classic Typography

Positioned above the route number, the word "VIRGINIA" is rendered in a small, black, all-caps block letter font, its placement providing context and state identification. The route number, "176," is displayed in large, bold black numerals. The bold numerals are the focal point, designed for maximum visibility from a distance, while also clearly communicating the specific route.

Color Palette and Simplicity

The design utilizes a stark, high-contrast color palette: a white background within the shield, a thick black border outlining the state, and black lettering and numerals. The clean, unadorned aesthetic exemplifies the era's focus on clear communication and practicality.

Historical Significance

More than just a marker, this design represents a specific moment in Virginia's history, reflecting the state's infrastructure development. This decal is a tribute to the road signs that guided travelers across the Commonwealth.

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.
