I-105 OR Metric (Oregon) (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This design celebrates a unique moment in U.S. transportation history: the brief, experimental period of metric signage. At the heart of the design is the iconic Interstate 105 shield, a symbol of American roadways and travel. The shield's bold design, immediately recognizable, is the focal point, reflecting its role as a key identifier for this specific Oregon route.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The Interstate 105 shield is rendered in its classic form. The top band, a vibrant red, proudly displays "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. Below, the main field, a deep blue, provides a contrasting backdrop for the large white numerals "105". This stark color contrast ensures high visibility, a crucial function in road sign design. A thin white border frames the shield, adding visual definition and cleanliness.
The design, while centered on the shield, subtly alludes to the metric context of the sign. It represents a specific time and place. The underlying meaning is one of innovation, of a moment when the United States considered a significant shift in its measurement system. The design embodies a sense of history, of a period when the familiar was momentarily altered by a new approach.
Design Context
The inclusion of the Oregon shield itself connects the design to the geography and location of I-105. Its existence on the shirt brings to mind the route that connects I-5 to Downtown Eugene. The design is a tribute to the road sign itself, a design feature in a world of visual elements.
