Connecticut Highway 109 Wide Sign Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie features a bold and instantly recognizable design: the wide, rectangular road sign marker for Connecticut Route 109. This is not the smaller, standalone shield found on local roads. Instead, the design replicates the expanded version used on green guide signs, such as those seen on highways and at major intersections, providing crucial directional information.
Design Elements and Meaning
The artwork faithfully captures the specific design standards of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT). The sign is rendered as a wide horizontal rectangle, a design choice meant to prioritize readability from a distance. The background is stark white, providing strong contrast against the other elements. A thin, clean black outline frames the entire sign, giving a clear definition.
The design clearly communicates the route designation. "CONNECTICUT" (or occasionally "CT") is printed in small, uppercase, sans-serif lettering at the top, immediately establishing the jurisdiction of the road. Centered below, in a large, bold, black sans-serif font, is the route number "109." This prominent numeral ensures instant recognition of the specific highway, a key element for drivers and those familiar with the state's roadways.
The design represents a connection to Connecticut's roadways and its iconic infrastructure. The design symbolizes navigation, the journey, and the spirit of exploration within the state's picturesque landscapes, particularly through the Litchfield Hills, known for their rural charm.
