OH-614 1927 (Ohio) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful representation of the 1927 OH-614 road sign, a historical artifact of Ohio's early highway system. The design centers around the distinctive visual language employed by the state during the mid-1920s to the 1940s, embodying a sense of pride and a commitment to clear route designation.
Diamond Mount & Symbolic Form
The design utilizes the iconic "diamond mount" - a square shape turned on its point, appearing as a diamond. This shape, characteristic of Ohio's route markers, immediately establishes the sign's origin and period. The white background provides a clean canvas, allowing the other elements to stand out, and is bordered by a thick, bold black outline, framing the sign.
Ohio's Iconic Silhouette
At the heart of the design, the silhouette of the state of Ohio takes center stage. This black outline of the state represents Ohio itself, creating a clear visual identifier and serving as a bold declaration of identity. This distinctive element set Ohio apart from neighboring states and the newly introduced U.S. Highway system, highlighting the state's individuality.
Route Number & Historical Significance
Within the Ohio silhouette, the route number "614" is displayed in bold black numerals. These numbers are carefully sized, compressed slightly to ensure they fit neatly within the boundaries of the state outline. This placement signifies a specific route within Ohio's early road network, providing historical context and a tangible connection to a bygone era of transportation.
