I-64 WV Metric (Virginia) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This T-shirt design replicates the unique historical I-64 signage that once graced the highways of West Virginia and Virginia during the brief experimental period of metric measurements in the United States. The artwork centers on the iconic visual elements of this specialized road sign.
Design Elements
At the heart of the design is the unmistakable Interstate shield: a red, white, and blue emblem signifying I-64. The route number, "64," is prominently displayed, echoing the classic design. Positioned beneath the shield is the state name, “VIRGINIA” or “WEST VIRGINIA” in crisp, white lettering, confirming the geographic location relevant to the sign.
Accompanying the shield, and forming a vital design component, is a representation of the metric distance markers. These feature a green rectangular background with white text, showcasing distances in kilometers (km). This inclusion is crucial as it captures the metric experiment's unique spirit, with the measurement units a distinctive detail setting these signs apart.
Symbolism and Meaning
This design is more than a simple road sign reproduction; it represents a unique piece of American transportation history. The inclusion of the "I-64" shield signifies the historic road and interstate system. The use of kilometers, instead of miles, highlights a brief experiment with the metric system in the US. The design embodies an appreciation for the details of that time and represents a testament to experimentation in the American transportation system, offering a nod to the past.
