Virginia 235 (1980) Road Sign Decal: A Snapshot of Virginia History

This vinyl kiss-cut decal captures the essence of a bygone era in Virginia's highway signage. It faithfully recreates the design of the Virginia Route 235 road sign as it would have appeared in 1980.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The core of the design is the iconic Virginia primary state highway shield. Its distinct shape—a flat bottom, squared shoulders, and pointed top—is instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Virginia's roadways. This shape itself symbolizes the state's official presence and authority on its highways.

A thick black outline precisely traces the shield's form, providing a strong visual border that sets the sign apart and aids in visibility.

At the top of the shield, the word "VIRGINIA" is rendered in small uppercase black letters. This wordmark unambiguously identifies the jurisdiction responsible for the highway.

Centered below, the bold black numerals "235" stand out clearly. They represent the specific designation of the road, Virginia Route 235, and serve as a crucial identifier for travelers. The boldness of the numerals ensures they are easily readable from a distance.

The background of the shield is white. This high-visibility color, combined with the reflective properties mandated by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), ensures the sign's legibility under various lighting conditions, promoting driver safety. The white background also contrasts with the black elements to create a sharp and easily interpreted visual message.

Together, these elements combine to produce a sign that is not only functional but also a visual representation of Virginia's transportation history and its commitment to guiding travelers through the state. This decal is more than just a sticker; it's a small piece of history, celebrating a specific era of road design and the routes that connect us to the past.

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.
