MN-247 Wide (Minnesota) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt showcases a design inspired by the MN-247 "wide" Minnesota road sign, a distinctive piece of highway signage history. The artwork celebrates the visual identity of Minnesota's roadways, specifically the post-1948 era.
Design Elements
At the core of the design is a horizontally stretched, black rectangular field. This elongated shape immediately evokes the characteristic form of the "wide" MN-247 road sign, signaling its enhanced visibility focus on the open road.
Within the black background, a prominent white silhouette of the state of Minnesota takes center stage. This state outline is also horizontally elongated to mirror the shape of the sign. The stretching of the state's shape subtly speaks to the wider format's emphasis on improved legibility for drivers on fast or busy roads.
Inside the white outline, the highway designation, "247," is displayed in bold, black digits. This bold numbering style ensures high visibility, a critical function of the road sign's design. The highway number is strategically placed inside the state's outline, immediately associating it with the state of Minnesota.
Above the highway number, the word "MINNESOTA" (or an abbreviation of it) may appear, reinforcing the geographical location and state of the highway. This further helps in quick identification for motorists.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design represents a specific historical aspect of Minnesota’s highway system. The elongated sign is symbolic of a movement towards improved road safety and driver awareness. It represents the commitment to clear and easy communication on the road.
The design signifies a connection to Minnesota's local traffic history, offering a sense of nostalgia for those familiar with this classic highway signage.
