Louisiana 70 - 1955 Road Sign: Design Analysis
The design emblazoned on this item pays homage to a piece of Louisiana history – the 1955 state highway signs. The centerpiece of this design is the iconic silhouette of the state of Louisiana. This distinct outline serves as an instantly recognizable symbol of the state, rooting the artwork firmly in Louisiana's identity.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
Encapsulated within the state's silhouette, the number "70" prominently appears. This number signifies Louisiana Highway 70 (LA 70), a vital road artery traversing south Louisiana. The placement of the number inside the state outline immediately communicates a strong sense of place and route designation.
The design replicates the official 1955 Louisiana highway shield design. A simple, clean design with the outline in white and the background in black, this color scheme adheres to the original aesthetics of the signs used from 1955 through the 1990s. The simplicity of the design, a product of mid-century aesthetics, enhances its memorability and makes it a bold statement of Louisiana pride.
This design is not merely a graphic; it's a statement. It represents a specific era in Louisiana’s history and the enduring importance of its highways. The design is a conversation starter for any Louisiana native or someone fond of Southern lore.
