Elongated Circle 1738 (United States) T-Shirt Design
This T-shirt design features the iconic "elongated circle" road sign, a prominent symbol of state highways across the United States. The artwork replicates the default state-route marker specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), design M1-5.
Visual Elements & Representation
The design showcases a vertically elongated white circle, nearly touching the edges of the artwork, set against a background (likely the t-shirt color). Inside the circle, the bold number "1738" is prominently displayed in black numerals. This number serves as a placeholder, representing a specific state route number. The elongated shape is deliberate, providing better readability for the route number.
Meaning & Symbolism
This design embodies the essence of wayfinding on US state routes. The elongated circle, while a default design, signifies that you are on (or heading toward) State Route 1738. It's a clear and direct marker, intended to guide travelers and identify a specific numbered highway. The design acts as a simple, effective symbol of this road network.
While the number "1738" is used as an illustrative placeholder (as many state route numbers cap at three digits), it represents the core functionality of the sign: clear route designation using a standardized visual language.
