M-3 1948 (Michigan) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a bold and iconic design inspired by a vintage Michigan road sign. The central element is the diamond-shaped route marker, a classic symbol of the Michigan state highway system.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The design faithfully recreates the look of a historical M-3 sign, specifically referencing the year 1948. The primary color is a striking combination of white and black which adds to the vintage look.
At the top of the diamond, a stylized “M” is prominently displayed, representing the “M-Highway System” of Michigan. Below, the number “3” is rendered in a period-accurate typeface, reflecting the font standards of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) used around 1948.
