I-81 WV Metric (Virginia) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This T-shirt design replicates the iconic I-81 WV Metric road sign, a piece of transportation history. The design represents the Interstate 81 highway in West Virginia, utilizing the metric specifications outlined in the 2004 edition of the Standard Highway Signs.
Visual Elements and Meaning
The artwork faithfully captures the distinct features of the sign. The design begins with a shield shape, reminiscent of the shields seen on the American road network. The top portion of the shield is red, and the bottom is blue, creating a vibrant contrast.
Across the top, the word "INTERSTATE" is emblazoned in bold, white letters, signifying the highway's importance as part of the national Interstate system. Beneath, within the blue field, the words "WEST VIRGINIA" is also in white lettering, indicating the sign's geographical association.
Dominating the center of the design is the route number "81," rendered in large, white numerals. This central number immediately identifies the specific highway and allows the viewer to easily navigate the Interstate Highway System.
The overall design symbolizes the connection and movement through the state of West Virginia. It represents the historical aesthetics of the early Interstate signage and pays homage to the era of road travel and the standardized design of the interstate system.
