New Mexico 23 1932 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a design inspired by the vintage road signs of New Mexico, specifically referencing the style used around 1932. The central artwork evokes a piece of New Mexico's history, focusing on the visual elements of a bygone era in highway signage.
The Zia Sun Symbol
At the heart of the design is the iconic Zia sun symbol. This symbol, originating from the Zia Pueblo, is a powerful representation of the sun and is central to the state's identity. The design may incorporate the smaller central circle characteristic of early route markers.
Color Scheme and Embossed Style
The color palette pays homage to the historical road signs of the 1920s and 1930s. Expect a classic red-and-black-on-yellow color scheme, mimicking the original state highway markers. The design strives to capture the non-reflective, embossed look of those vintage signs, giving it a tangible sense of history.
A Nod to New Mexico Highway 23
The "23" in the design directly refers to New Mexico State Road 23 (NM 23), a decommissioned highway that holds a place in state history. The design represents a visual tribute to the past of New Mexico's roads.
