Iowa 190 (Iowa) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
The design features the iconic visual language of Iowa's highway system: a bold, instantly recognizable representation of the now-defunct Iowa Highway 190 (IA-190). The artwork adheres to the standard format for Iowa route markers, which is both a shield/circle format and black/white colors, a combination that has historically represented state highways.
The central element is a prominent "190" numeral, rendered in a crisp, clean font style and housed within the distinctive shape of a road sign. The contrast of the dark shape and the white numeral ensures high visibility, a core principle of road sign design that is echoed in the artwork's simplicity. This focus on clear communication and the specific "190" number establishes the visual focus on the road itself.
The design, through its use of official iconography, functions as a form of visual shorthand, immediately communicating the subject: the memory of a particular route within the Iowa state highway system. It serves as a tribute to an era of Iowa's roadways that is preserved in the symbol of the route marker and allows the wearer to connect with a unique piece of Iowa history.
