New Mexico 23 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the iconic design of a New Mexico state route marker, specifically representing the now-defunct NM-23. The artwork boldly features the distinctive visual elements of the sign.
Zia Sun Symbol
At the heart of the design is the striking Zia sun symbol. This red circle contains four sets of four rays, a motif borrowed from the Zia Pueblo. The vibrant red color provides a strong contrast, drawing the eye to the central emblem.
Route Number and Arrangement
Inside the red Zia circle, the number "23" is prominently displayed in black numerals. This simple yet effective layout highlights the route number in a clear and easily recognizable manner. The entire Zia symbol and number are encased in a white circular background, further accentuating the design's key features.
Border and Symbolic Significance
Completing the design is a classic black square border, framing the circular elements and providing a defined edge to the artwork. The Zia symbol itself is more than just a decorative element; its radiating rays symbolize the four directions, the four seasons, the four phases of life, and the four parts of the day. This layered symbolism adds depth and cultural richness to the design, making it a powerful visual statement.
