I-68 MD Metric (Maryland) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

Visual Representation

This sticker design presents a hypothetical I-68 road sign, envisioned as it might have appeared if the United States had fully adopted metric signage for its Interstates. The artwork adheres to the established visual language of U.S. Interstate highway signage.

Color and Elements

The design faithfully replicates the standard Interstate shield: a red and blue design, with a white central area. "INTERSTATE" is prominently displayed at the top in white lettering, while "MARYLAND" appears in the lower blue field, also in white. The large numeral "68" is rendered in a bold, white typeface in the shield's center.

Key Difference: The Metric Element

The crucial distinction is the presence of the word "METRIC" alongside "68." This addition signifies the intended conversion to the metric system, which, in reality, was never fully realized for I-68 in Maryland. The placement and style of "METRIC" are designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing Interstate sign format, creating a plausible, albeit fictional, representation of metric signage.

Symbolism and Meaning

The sticker symbolizes a "what if" scenario in American transportation history. It speaks to the era when metric conversion was considered, reminding the viewer of the road not taken. The design is a playful nod to a historical inflection point and the standardized graphic designs of US road signage.

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.
