Colorado 36 (Colorado) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a design inspired by the iconic road signs of Colorado, specifically focusing on the U.S. Route 36 and Colorado State Highway 36 designations. The artwork prominently features the numerical "36," the core identifier of the route, rendered in a style reminiscent of official road signage.
Visual Elements & Representation
The design utilizes two primary shield styles to differentiate between the two types of roadways that are known as Colorado 36. One shield represents US Route 36 and is rendered as a white shield with a black "36" and may include “Colorado” or a state route tab above or near it. This symbolizes the federal highway system. The other shield, in a different format, indicates Colorado State Highway 36, marking portions of the older alignment of US 36.
The use of these signs and the number 36 directly connects the design to the practical function of road signs: guiding travelers. It represents direction and movement, guiding motorists across Colorado, identifying alternate roads and older stretches of highway.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design, with its use of road sign iconography, symbolizes travel, exploration, and the journey through the diverse landscapes of Colorado. It also represents the infrastructure that connects communities, facilitating both local and cross-state travel. The inclusion of the different shield styles for U.S. and State highways highlights the history of the roads and the evolution of the transportation system.
The design as a whole is a visual nod to the American road trip and Colorado's place in it.
