Virginia 284 (1980) Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey Through Virginia's Past

This vinyl decal perfectly captures the essence of a 1980s Virginia primary route road sign. Its design evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting you back to a time when navigating Virginia's roads was marked by iconic signage.

Design Elements

The design is centered on the distinctive Virginia state highway shield, a shape instantly recognizable to those familiar with the state's roadways. Its squared shoulders, flat bottom, and pointed top offer a classic, enduring aesthetic.

The black border that outlines the shield provides a bold frame, emphasizing the sign's importance. Within this frame, the elements of the road route are proudly displayed.

Visual Text

At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is elegantly presented in small uppercase black letters, identifying the state that the route serves.

The focal point of the sign is the large, bold black numeral "284," placed prominently below the state name. This number is the defining visual identifier of the specific road, VA-284, acting as a clear and concise declaration of its presence. The bold black numerals are in contrast to the white background, improving legibility.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design symbolizes Virginia's commitment to clear and consistent road signage. The primary route shield signifies the importance of the highway system and links to a primary route in the state highway system.

The overall aesthetic represents a snapshot of Virginia's transportation history and the standardized visual language used to guide travelers along its roads.

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.
