I-80 PA Metric (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) STICKER - Design Description

Visual Representation

The design emulates the official road signage of Interstate 80 (I-80) in Pennsylvania, with a playful twist. The core element is the iconic interstate shield: a red, white, and blue emblem featuring the prominent numerals "80" in a bold, sans-serif white font. This immediately identifies the subject as a component of the U.S. Interstate Highway System.

The design's key deviation from standard I-80 signage is the implied inclusion of metric units. While the United States has historically used miles for interstate signage, the "Metric" designation is subtly implied or boldly displayed, creating a visual paradox. This unexpected juxtaposition of familiar Interstate iconography with a metric connotation evokes a sense of humor and a nod to a hypothetical alternative reality.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design serves as a commentary on the historical absence of metric signage on U.S. Interstates, particularly I-80. The deliberate conflation of the familiar I-80 shield with metric units represents an alternative pathway. It’s a playful nod to a historical "what if," and the potential for a different future in road signage. The artwork playfully imagines a world where the United States embraced the metric system on its major roadways.

The "PA" incorporated within the design specifies Pennsylvania, indicating the particular geographic location and grounding the design in a specific region of the United States and creating additional meaning. It's a statement that evokes memories of travel or road trips and a sense of belonging to a community of travelers.

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.
