OH-130 1920 (Ohio) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases the historical OH-130 road sign from the 1920s, offering a glimpse into Ohio's early highway signage. The design is a faithful reproduction of the first-generation state route marker, a design predating the iconic black silhouette that would come to represent Ohio's roads.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork centers on a square layout, mimicking the shape of the original sign. A pristine white background forms the canvas. Across the top, the word "OHIO" is emblazoned in bold, black block letters, signifying the state in which the route is located. Beneath "OHIO," a thin, horizontal black line acts as a divider, separating the state's name from the route number.
The focal point of the design, the route number "130," is rendered in large, bold black numerals, centrally positioned below the divider line. The font choice and size are carefully selected to mirror the clarity and readability of the original road sign, emphasizing the straightforward, functional design of the era.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a piece of Ohio's transportation history. It symbolizes the state's early efforts to establish a formalized road system and the beginnings of route designation. The simplicity of the design, with its text-based approach, reflects the practicality and functional aesthetics of the 1920s. It represents a time before graphical elements and visual branding became standard.
The OH-130 sign, as depicted in this design, provides a direct visual link to a specific era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in road travel and an appreciation for the evolution of highway signage over the past century.
