The "1926" design features the original N-40 sign as established. This vintage look is a white shield outline bearing the black text "N-40". It's a simple, classic design that speaks to the early days of Nebraska's highway system.
1950 Style: Mid-Century Modern
The "1950" style design adopts the road sign from the 1950s. It features a clean, white square design, with "NEBR." displayed at the top and the number "40" centered. It's a visual nod to mid-century American design, embodying functionality and simplicity.
