This t-shirt features a faithful representation of the MN-266 Minnesota state highway marker, a piece of automotive and state history. The design embodies the spirit of a specific short roadway once connecting rural areas in southern Minnesota.
Visual Elements
At the heart of the design is the iconic Minnesota state highway shield. It showcases a striking blue background, consistent with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) standards, immediately signaling its official origin. Encircling the number, a bold gold (yellow) border adds a touch of classic road signage. The design adheres strictly to the classic road sign design used throughout Minnesota.
Dominating the shield, the number “266” is emblazoned in a bold, sans-serif font. The font choice ensures high legibility, guaranteeing quick identification from a distance. The use of gold (yellow) lettering provides strong contrast against the blue background, which enhances visibility in various lighting conditions.
