Visual Elements
The artwork centers around the iconic Arizona state highway shield. This shield design is immediately recognizable: a silhouette outline of the state of Arizona itself, containing the route number "81" prominently displayed within. Above the state outline, the word "ARIZONA" is printed in a clear, bold font.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design's primary function is to serve as a visual identifier for the specific state highway. The silhouette of Arizona signifies the geographical context, while the route number "81" directly refers to the designated highway. The presence of the "ARIZONA" text explicitly confirms its association with the state's transportation system.
The 1973 specification aspect adds a historical layer to the design. It's a snapshot in time of a specific design standard used by the Arizona Department of Transportation, offering a glimpse into the state's past highway infrastructure. It commemorates a specific era in Arizona's history of roads.
