MN-116 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the iconic MN-116 road sign, a visual emblem of Minnesota State Highway 116. The design is a direct representation of the official highway marker, reflecting its purpose as a clear and recognizable guide for travelers.
Design Elements
The design faithfully replicates the standard Minnesota state highway shield. At the heart of the design, the number "116" is boldly displayed, signifying the specific highway it represents. This is presented within a classic blue shield, providing the primary color background.
Color Palette and Typography
The color scheme is consistent with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) standards. The blue background provides a high-contrast foundation for the gold (yellow) lettering and border. The number "116" is presented in a bold, sans-serif font, ensuring maximum legibility and visibility, mirroring the functional design of the actual road sign.
Meaning and Symbolism
The MN-116 road sign, and therefore this design, is a symbol of navigation and connection within Minnesota. It specifically denotes the scenic and recreational route linking Grand Marais to the surrounding wilderness, including access to Lake Superior's North Shore. Wearing this design expresses a connection to the landscapes and experiences along MN 116.
