I-79 WV Metric (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
Visual Representation
This t-shirt design evokes the look and feel of a classic Interstate highway sign. At the heart of the design is the iconic Interstate shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with American roadways. The shield features the standard red, white, and blue color scheme, reflecting the patriotic aesthetic often associated with the U.S. Interstate system.
Key Elements and Symbolism
The prominent "79" within the shield signifies Interstate 79, the specific highway that this design references. While the design is a novelty concept, the placement of "WEST VIRGINIA" (or "VIRGINIA") on the sign is a nod to the actual geographic locations that I-79 traverses. The inclusion of the "Metric" designation is a satirical play on the historical consideration of metric signage within the U.S. This serves to highlight the contrast between the actual I-79 signage and the hypothetical "metric" version.
Overall Impression
The design intends to generate a feeling of nostalgia for American road trips. It's a playful representation of the U.S. highway system, and a celebration of road trip memories. By incorporating the Interstate shield, the design leverages a universally recognized symbol of American transportation and the open road. The overall effect is a design that is both visually engaging and conversation-starting, sparking curiosity and perhaps even a chuckle from those familiar with the quirks of highway signage and the history of metrication.
