Connecticut Highway 116 (Connecticut) Road Sign Hoodie - Design Overview
Artwork Inspiration
This hoodie design prominently features the official road sign of Connecticut Route 116, a vital connector in Fairfield County. The artwork meticulously replicates the iconic design of the Connecticut state route marker, offering a visual representation of this specific roadway.
Sign Design Elements
The design adheres to the standard Connecticut state route marker style. This is immediately recognizable through the use of a vertical rectangular shape with rounded corners. The background is a clean white, providing a stark contrast to the black elements that define the sign.
Text and Numerals
At the top, the uppercase word “CONNECTICUT” is centered, clearly identifying the state. The focal point of the design is the large, bold black numerals “116” placed in the center of the rectangle, immediately signifying the route number. The typeface used throughout is the standard FHWA Series highway lettering, consistent with all Connecticut state route markers.
Border and Style
A thin, black rectangular outline frames the entire design, providing a defined border. This design can also be found in a “wide” version where the entire sign is stretched horizontally, while still using the same text and color details, in order to improve visibility.
Meaning and Symbolism
The road sign design embodies the essence of connectivity and navigation. It represents a specific route, linking communities and facilitating travel within Connecticut and beyond. As a symbol, the route marker is a marker of place, community, and the open road.
