DuPage County 10 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases a design inspired by the official road sign of DuPage County Route 10 in Illinois. The artwork faithfully recreates the distinctive look of the county route markers found throughout DuPage County.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic pentagon shape, the standard marker for county routes in the United States. The pentagon serves as a visual anchor, immediately communicating the nature of the road designation.
The color palette adheres precisely to the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) specifications. A vibrant blue background provides the base for the design, ensuring high visibility. Bold, golden-yellow (or gold) is used for the numerals and the border, offering a strong contrast that draws the eye.
Meaning & Symbolism
The prominent “10” in the center signifies the specific route designation within DuPage County's highway system. It is the identifier for a local connector road, vital for navigation and maintenance within the county.
Above the “10”, the word "DUPAGE" may be incorporated into the design, clearly marking the county of origin. This reinforces the local nature of the route and its connection to the DuPage County Highway System, managed by the DuPage County Division of Transportation (DuDOT).
The design, overall, symbolizes the intricate network of local roads and the importance of infrastructure in supporting communities like Naperville, Wheaton, Lisle, Lombard, and Downers Grove. It represents a piece of local identity and navigational planning.
