Michigan 505 Marquette County (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design, celebrating the unique road systems of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. At its heart lies the distinctive H-505 road sign, a visual representation of Marquette County's County-Designated Highway (CDH) system.
The H-505 Shield
The artwork centers around the iconic shape of the H-505 shield, a symbol found exclusively in the Upper Peninsula's county road system. The design replicates the official signage precisely. The classic Michigan outline, encompassing both peninsulas, provides the overall form.
Color Palette and Symbolism
The design utilizes a vibrant color scheme that adheres to the established CDH standards. A solid blue background provides a visual field. Over this field, the "H" and "505" designation is rendered in a striking yellow-gold, creating high contrast for easy readability. The yellow-gold is also used in the border of the sign which creates a polished look. This color combination is not just aesthetic; it’s a functional part of the signage system, designed for clarity and recognition.
Meaning and Representation
The presence of the "H" prefix explicitly marks the route as a county-maintained highway within the Upper Peninsula. The entire design speaks to a sense of place – a connection to the specific geography and road network of Marquette County. It represents the crucial function of these secondary highways as links to the broader Michigan transportation system and, by extension, the communities they serve.
