HI-66 (Hawaii) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a design inspired by the historical "HI-66" road sign found on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii. The artwork centers around the iconic shield used for state highway signage, featuring the bold "HI" (for Hawaii) designation, overlaid by the route number "66."
Visual Elements & Representation
The design faithfully recreates the look and feel of a vintage road sign. The color palette typically incorporates a reflective or matte background, often green or blue, with crisp white lettering and the distinctive shape of the Hawaiian state shield incorporated as the backdrop. The font used for the "HI" and "66" is designed to mimic the signage used during the time when this route was active.
The "HI-66" design is a nod to a bygone era in Hawaiian road history. It represents Puuloa Road, a connector route near Honolulu International Airport. The presence of the design pays homage to the now-decommissioned route and serves as a visual reminder of the evolution of the road network on Oʻahu.
Meaning and Symbolism
The t-shirt design carries historical significance, representing a forgotten piece of Hawaiian infrastructure. The "HI-66" road sign design visually communicates the idea of change, of the old becoming the new, the ephemeral nature of places and the changing roads of a historical time in Hawaii. It is a visual cue that can inspire conversation and intrigue, reflecting the heritage of the island and the roads that shape our world.
