CT 134 1956 (Connecticut) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This design showcases a piece of Connecticut's transportation history, specifically the road sign for Connecticut Route 134 as it appeared in 1956. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the "CONN" rectangular highway marker used by the state during the mid-1950s.
Visual Elements
The central visual element is a vertical rectangle with rounded corners, a design aesthetic prevalent in the mid-20th century. The background is rendered in a crisp white, providing a clean canvas for the information it conveys.
A bold, black rectangular border defines the sign's edge, creating a clear and defined form. Inside this border, the iconic "CONN" designation, representing the state of Connecticut, is placed at the top of the sign in small, uppercase black letters. The route number, “134,” is boldly centered in large, block-style numerals in the same black font, emphasizing the route's identity.
Meaning and Symbolism
This design serves as a nostalgic tribute to the road systems of mid-century America. The "CONN" design itself represents a specific era of Connecticut's highway development, when the state aimed for a clear and uniform system for motorists. The simple, utilitarian design reflects the era's focus on functionality and clear communication.
By featuring the "134" number, the design commemorates a specific, short-lived route within Stamford, Connecticut. It celebrates the legacy of a route that once connected key roadways, and its decommissioned status adds a sense of historical significance to the overall design. It's a symbolic reminder of how the infrastructure of our towns and cities has changed over time.
