I-380 IA 1961 (Iowa) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt proudly showcases the iconic design of the original I-380 road sign, a piece of Iowa's rich transportation history. The artwork pays homage to the 1961 designation of Interstate 380, a vital link in the state's highway system.
The Interstate Shield
At the heart of the design is the classic Interstate shield. This universally recognized symbol features a bold red top section and a contrasting blue background. Within the shield, the white numerals "380" are prominently displayed, representing the specific route number. This color scheme, based on Pantone Red 187 and Blue 294, ensures high visibility and recognition, reflecting the sign's primary function of guiding travelers.
Font and Dimensions
The font used for the numerals is the Roadgeek 2005 series, a modern adaptation of the original Interstate typeface. This font choice adds a contemporary touch while staying true to the historic aesthetic of the highway system. The overall dimensions and proportions of the shield closely mirror the original signage, creating a faithful representation of this piece of Iowa's heritage.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents connection and progress. The I-380 shield symbolizes the vital role the highway plays in facilitating travel and commerce within Iowa, connecting key urban centers and supporting regional economic growth. The inclusion of the "IA 1961" inscription further grounds the design in its historical context, making it a powerful visual statement that celebrates a pivotal moment in Iowa's road infrastructure.
