I-526 SC Metric (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features the meticulously rendered design of the I-526 SC Metric road sign, a unique piece of transportation iconography. The artwork is a direct visual representation of the sign, faithfully recreating its key elements.
Road Sign Representation
The design prominently showcases the distinctive shield of Interstate 526, an auxiliary route in South Carolina. This auxiliary route is also known as the Mark Clark Expressway, forming a partial beltway around Charleston. The shield's shape, a hallmark of U.S. Interstate signage, symbolizes a network of interconnected roadways, facilitating efficient travel and transportation across the state.
Metric Precision
The "I-526 SC Metric" designation highlights the sign's adherence to metric standards. This is represented by the precise dimensions and the font used for the route number and state abbreviation. The sign's design incorporates the Roadgeek 2005 font, the standard font used on road signs, and the use of the number "526", identifying the specific interstate.
Color Palette and Symbolism
The color scheme is equally important. The design utilizes Pantone Red 187 and Blue 294, converted to RGB colors. The colors are those of the US Interstate system, providing immediate recognition. This conveys a sense of reliability and authority. The colors also connect to the state itself, as the sign connects to South Carolina. The sign also acts as an emblem, a marker of navigation and accessibility.
