Virginia 179 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Sticker: Design Description

This sticker captures the essence of a classic piece of Virginia highway history: the 1980 Virginia Route 179 road sign. The design is a faithful reproduction of the official marker, embodying the state's established road signage style of the era.

Visual Elements

The design presents a clean, immediately recognizable form: a vertically oriented, rounded-rectangle shape. This specific shape, a signature of Virginia's highway system, signifies the route's designation within the state's network.

The stark white background provides a prominent and reflective surface, designed for optimal visibility along roadways. A thin, black border elegantly defines the shape, creating a visual boundary and enhancing the sign's legibility.

At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in understated, black uppercase letters. This inscription clearly identifies the state where the route is located.

Centered below, the route number "179" appears in large, bold black numerals. This large number is the primary focus, and provides instant route identification, crucial for efficient navigation.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design serves as more than just a visual representation; it symbolizes a connection to Virginia's roadways and its transportation history. It encapsulates a specific period, the 1980s, when this style of sign was a familiar sight for drivers.

The design’s simplicity and clarity reflect the intended function of the original sign: to provide clear and unambiguous information in a quick and visually efficient way. It represents an era of road travel and the standardized systems that guide motorists throughout the state.

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.
