New Mexico 22 1932 Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design evokes a sense of vintage Americana, featuring a stylized interpretation of a historic New Mexico highway sign. At the heart of the design is the iconic Zia sun symbol, a powerful emblem deeply rooted in the culture of the Zia Pueblo people.
Zia Symbol & Historical Context
The Zia symbol, with its four sets of four rays radiating outwards, is a sacred symbol representing the interconnectedness of life and the balance of the universe. It symbolizes the four directions, the four seasons, the four stages of life, and the four times of day.
The design specifically references the 1930s era of New Mexico road signs. This is represented by the smaller central circle within the Zia symbol, and the color scheme: a striking red and black design set against a warm yellow background.
A Journey Through Time
The "22" in the design points to New Mexico State Road 22, offering a connection to a specific route in the state. The year "1932" further grounds the design in history, representing a particular design period of the signs.
This design is a visual testament to New Mexico’s rich heritage, blending the beauty of its natural landscape with the profound symbolism of the Zia Pueblo culture and a vintage aesthetic of a by-gone era.
