OH-56 1960 (Ohio) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
A Slice of Ohio History
This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of Ohio's transportation history: the 1960s Ohio Route 56 road sign. The design pays homage to a bygone era of highway signage.
The Iconic Outline Shield
At the heart of the design is the unmistakable silhouette of the state of Ohio itself. The outline, with its vertical sides, rounded bottom, and distinctive "northeast notch," is instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the Buckeye State. This shape is more than just a border; it embodies Ohio's identity and geographical boundaries.
Simple and Bold Typography
Within the white expanse of the Ohio outline, the number "56" boldly asserts itself in black, sans-serif numerals. This straightforward layout emphasizes clarity and readability, reflecting the practical function of the original road sign. The lack of the "OHIO" wordmark further streamlines the design, allowing the state's shape and the route number to command attention.
Colors of Clarity
The stark contrast of the black numerals and border against the white background ensures high visibility. This color scheme, a standard of the time, was designed to catch the eye of drivers, even at a distance. The choice of black and white adds to the design's sense of history, simplicity, and functionality.
