OH-178 1948 (Ohio) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features a classic representation of Ohio's historical highway marker for State Route 178, as it would have appeared in 1948. The design is a bold statement of mid-20th-century American road design, rooted in a simple but effective aesthetic.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a solid black silhouette of the state of Ohio. This iconic shape serves as the primary visual focus, instantly identifying the state and its connection to the highway system. Centered within the silhouette is the route number: "178". The numerals are rendered in a bold, sans-serif font, using a black numeral on a white background, ensuring clear legibility from a distance.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a specific historical moment in Ohio's transportation history. The solid black silhouette is a visual shorthand for Ohio, anchoring the marker in the state's identity. The white-on-black number "178" is both functional and symbolic, designating the specific route and, in a broader sense, signifies the interconnectedness of Ohio's towns and cities through its highway network. This simple, direct approach is typical of the era, conveying necessary information with clarity and style, a testament to the importance of efficient visual communication.
