Design Elements and Meaning

The "1926" acts as a date-stamp, and also serves as a stylistic reference, the design is a nod to the year the U.S. highway system was being established. The entire design is a homage to the golden age of road travel and the iconic imagery associated with it.
A Nostalgic Statement
The design represents a celebration of the open road and the freedom of travel. It's a statement about appreciating the history of Illinois's roadways and the evolution of the road sign itself.
