Iowa Primary 104 (Iowa) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases a historically accurate representation of the Iowa Primary 104 road sign. The design directly reflects the standard markers used during the early 20th century to identify and guide travelers along Iowa's state-maintained highways.
Sign Elements and Symbolism
At the heart of the design lies the iconic Iowa Primary Road marker. The sign features a stark white background, providing maximum contrast for the essential information. Centered prominently is the route number: "104". This number is enclosed within a black circular border, a design element common to many U.S. road signs, and it signifies the specific route's identification within the state's highway system.
The font used for the route number "104" adheres to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) font standards, which ensured readability and uniformity across all state highway markers. For this three-digit route, the font used is Series B. This adherence to standardized design principles demonstrates the methodical approach to road signage adopted in this era.
Historical Context
This design serves as a visual testament to Iowa's early highway infrastructure and its evolution. It's a nostalgic nod to a bygone era when Iowa Highway 104 was an active part of the state's Primary Highway System. The sign symbolizes a specific route that once connected communities, guided travelers, and played a role in the state's transportation network.
