MN-252 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the iconic MN-252 road sign, a visual emblem of Minnesota State Highway 252 (MN 252). The design faithfully replicates the official highway marker used throughout the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, capturing the essence of this vital north-south route.
Design Elements and Representation
The central element of the design is the distinctive Minnesota state highway shield. It presents a bold "252" numeral encased within a classic blue shield, a universally recognized symbol of state highways in Minnesota. The color scheme adheres to official MnDOT standards: a vibrant blue background paired with crisp, gold (yellow) lettering and a gold border.
The typography is clean and modern, employing a bold, sans-serif font specifically chosen for optimal legibility and high visibility, even at a distance. This font choice is crucial for the intended function of the sign: clear and immediate communication of route information.
Meaning and Symbolism
The MN-252 road sign is more than just a number; it represents a key artery within the Twin Cities' transportation network. The sign signifies the connection between local roads and Interstate 94, facilitating north-south travel on the western side of the Mississippi River. The design therefore carries a symbolic weight, representing mobility, connectivity, and the flow of daily life within the region. It's a visual tribute to the road itself, the communities it serves, and the essential infrastructure that supports them.
