OH-258 1967 (Ohio) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the 1967 Ohio State Route 258 road sign design. The artwork captures the essence of mid-century highway signage, a period of standardization and streamlined visual communication.
Design Elements
The design is starkly simple. Centered on the shirt is a bold representation of the route number "258." The numerals are rendered in a classic, bold, sans-serif font, reflecting the utilitarian aesthetics of the era. A thick, black border frames the entire design, providing a clear definition and visual contrast.
Meaning and Symbolism
The OH-258 sign represents a specific time in Ohio's history, a period of infrastructure development and vehicular expansion. The design symbolizes the standardization efforts of the 1957 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), a pivotal moment in ensuring consistency across state lines. The clean lines and bold numerals are a direct visual representation of clarity and efficiency, designed for quick identification by drivers on the open road.
The absence of any state outline or shield indicates the shift away from earlier, more elaborate designs. This design speaks to an era when functionality reigned supreme, and the message of "258" was all that was needed.
