Visual Elements and Representation
At the heart of the design is the number "88," boldly displayed within a shield.

The shield itself serves as a historical marker, symbolizing the state's early efforts to establish and manage its road network.
The design’s simplicity and straightforwardness are deliberate. It reflects the visual language of early-to-mid 20th-century road signage, a style chosen for clarity and functionality. The design eschews elaborate embellishments, emphasizing the essential information and a sense of historical authenticity.
Meaning and Symbolism
More than just a number, the "88" in this design represents a piece of Louisiana's transportation history. It speaks to the state's development and modernization, marking the early stages of its highway infrastructure. The design is a visual reminder of the evolution of road travel and the significance of official signage in guiding travelers and defining the landscape.
