The central element of the design is the official Illinois state route shield. It's a square design, faithful to historical specifications, with the word "ILLINOIS" boldly displayed at the top. Beneath, the route designation "59A" is prominently featured.

Meaning and Symbolism
The design of the Illinois 59A sign evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of road travel. It symbolizes a specific chapter in Illinois’s transportation history. The "A" designation signifies that it was once a variant route of IL 59.
