I-000 1961 Template (California) T-Shirt Design
A Classic Roadside Icon
This design showcases the iconic "I-000 (1961) template" for California Interstate highway shields. It's a faithful reproduction of the blank template used by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to create interstate route markers in the style of the 1960s/1970s. The design pays homage to a crucial piece of infrastructure that guides travelers across the Golden State.
Design Elements
The artwork faithfully captures the specific details of the original template. The top band of the shield is rendered in a vibrant Pantone Red 187, while the shield itself is a rich Pantone Blue 294. The design adheres to the established proportions: 25 inches in width by 30 inches in height. The design adheres to the typography "Roadgeek 2005 fonts," used to establish a uniform appearance for interstate signs.
Symbolism
The design represents the essence of travel, navigation, and the American highway system. The red and blue colors are a key part of the American landscape, evoking patriotism and the open road. The blank "I-000" signifies a placeholder, ready to be customized with any interstate route number. The design serves as a visual reminder of the extensive interstate system.
