Iowa 196 (Iowa) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design: the iconic Iowa Highway 196 route marker. The artwork centers around a circular sign with the number "196" prominently displayed within a white circle. This circle is set against a stark black square background, the standard color scheme used by the Iowa Department of Transportation for state highway markers.
The design represents the historical presence of Iowa Highway 196, a former state route in Sac County. The route marker serves as a visual reminder of the road's existence, even though it no longer functions as an independent, signed highway. It’s a nostalgic nod to the past, appealing to those with an interest in Iowa's road history and highway enthusiasts.
The simple yet impactful design is meant to be instantly understandable and recognizable. It symbolizes the spirit of exploration and travel, capturing a slice of Iowa's past through a clean and clear visual representation. The use of a standard sign format provides an official, credible aesthetic, making this a design rich in symbolism and local historical significance.
