Louisiana 1138-2 (Louisiana) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design
This hoodie showcases the iconic design of the Louisiana Highway 1138-2 road sign, a familiar sight for those navigating the roads around Lake Charles in Calcasieu Parish. The artwork pays homage to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's (LaDOTD) standard sign design.
Sign Elements
The design prominently features the unmistakable shape of the state of Louisiana. This state-outline serves as the primary visual element, immediately identifying the location and origin of the route.
Color and Graphics
The background of the state outline is rendered in a classic white, chosen for high visibility and retroreflectivity on actual road signs. Encircling the state is a bold black border, providing a crisp outline to the state's shape. Within this, the black "1138-2" route number is centered, clearly designating the specific highway segment.
Symbolism
This design embodies the spirit of Louisiana's highway system. The state outline serves as a symbol of place, connection, and the journeys undertaken throughout Louisiana. The numeric designation “1138-2” represents the specific road, part of a family of routes around Lake Charles. The overall design signifies navigation, direction, and the spirit of exploration inherent in any journey.
Font
The numerical legend uses FHWA Series D or E, the standard font used on U.S. highways, ensuring readability and instantly communicating the route designation.
