Korea Expressway No. 91983-1997 Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt design pays homage to a distinctive piece of South Korean transportation history: the expressway route shields used from 1983 to 1997. The artwork centers around the iconic blue sign, a visual nod to the influence of U.S. highway signage on the early Korean expressway system.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The design prominently features the shape of the historical Korean expressway sign. This shield is defined by its deep blue background and contrasting white border. The design mirrors the style of a U.S. highway sign.
The core of the artwork is the representation of the route number, displayed in white. The exact route number is not specified in the source document, and so you would need to find the correct number for the design. The route number within the shield signifies a specific national expressway ("고속국도") in South Korea.
The color palette of blue and white offers clarity and readability, essential for quick visual information at highway speeds. The use of this particular color scheme reflects the design standards and guidelines of the time, meant to be easily recognizable and to aid drivers in navigation. Overall, the design represents the evolution of road design and transportation networks in South Korea. It is a nostalgic symbol of a bygone era in Korean history.
