Argentina MSV 2017 Road Sign I-12 Hoodie: Design Description
This hoodie features the design of the Argentina MSV 2017 road sign I-12, also known as the "Cartel de distancias" or "Distance Sign." The artwork replicates the sign's essential elements, providing a visual representation of crucial road information for drivers navigating Argentina's highways.
Design Elements and Meaning
The central element of the design is a horizontal rectangular panel, rendered in the characteristic green background, the standard color for directional and distance information in Argentina's road signage. This green field immediately signals the informative nature of the design.
White capital letters are used throughout, exactly mirroring the text style and color prescribed in the Manual de Señalamiento Vial (MSV) 2017. The design displays two destinations. On the left side, the design replicates “CÓRDOBA” and “BUENOS AIRES”. The right side of the design displays the corresponding distances in kilometers, as indicated by the numbers “55” and “685”. The use of clear, legible fonts ensures instant understanding.
The layout mimics the I-12 sign, with the destination on the left and the distance in kilometers on the right. This arrangement is immediately recognizable to those familiar with Argentine road signage. The chosen destinations, such as Córdoba and Buenos Aires, offer a reference to actual locations and the distances separating them.
Symbolism and Purpose
The design represents the essence of road navigation in Argentina. The “Cartel de distancias” is the visual guide to long-distance travel, offering information on remaining distances to key destinations. The inclusion of this sign's design on a hoodie signifies a connection to Argentine roads and a celebration of the journey.
The design symbolizes planning, orientation, and knowledge of the road, offering a snapshot of a road traveler’s journey.
