Louisiana 1138-3 (Louisiana) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the iconic design of the Louisiana Highway 1138-3 road sign, a distinctive symbol of the state's transportation network. The artwork faithfully replicates the official state highway marker, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Louisiana roads.
Design Elements
The design features the stylized outline of the state of Louisiana, rendered in a crisp, clean aesthetic. The state shape is the central visual element, providing a strong sense of place and representing the geographical area served by the route.
The background color is a bright white, chosen for its high retroreflective quality in the actual road sign design. A thin, elegant black border frames the Louisiana outline, creating a defined edge and adding visual contrast.
Centered within the state silhouette, the route number "1138-3" is boldly displayed in a classic highway typeface (FHWA Series D or E). The black color of the digits ensures excellent legibility against the white background. The dash, which separates the main route number from its suffix, is rendered as a short, black line, staying consistent with the authentic road sign design.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design speaks to the connection between Louisiana's infrastructure and its identity. This sign indicates the presence of a maintained roadway by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD), representing its role in maintaining and connecting local areas to major arteries. The Louisiana state shape provides instant visual recognition of the state and reinforces a sense of local pride.
