Louisiana 119 (1955) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design celebrates the iconic Louisiana 119 road sign as it appeared in 1955, following the state's significant highway renumbering. It's a tribute to the original, classic design that continues to resonate with its distinctive visual identity.
Visual Elements and Representation
The artwork faithfully recreates the mid-century look of the LA 119 road sign. The core of the design is the silhouette of the state of Louisiana itself, directly cut in the shape of the state. This immediately identifies the subject as a Louisiana state highway.
The color scheme is simple and effective: a crisp white background with bold black lettering and borders. The letters "LA" are positioned near the top in a small, blocky sans-serif font, followed by the route number "119" in a larger, centrally positioned, blocky sans-serif font.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design acts as a direct visual reference to the Louisiana highway system of the mid-20th century. "LA 119" represents a specific state-maintained route, signaling direction and identification to those navigating the roads of Louisiana during that era.
The inclusion of the silhouette of Louisiana emphasizes a sense of place and local pride. It symbolizes the state’s commitment to its transportation infrastructure and reinforces the association between the numbered route and the state itself.
