Ontario Highway 504 (Canada) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design showcases the iconic road sign of Ontario Highway 504, a former secondary provincial highway in Ontario, Canada. The artwork captures the essence of the original sign, adhering to its distinctive visual characteristics.
Sign Elements and Symbolism
The design prominently features the standard "isosceles trapezoid" shield, the recognized shape for 500-series highways in Ontario. The sign's face is rendered with a high-contrast look, using a white or light background to emphasize the black text and numbers.
At the top of the sign, the design typically includes the provincial coat-of-arms or a symbolic representation of it, which represents the province's authority. Below this, the word "ONTARIO" appears, clarifying the jurisdiction. The route number, "504," is displayed in bold black lettering below, clearly identifying the specific highway.
Historical Context in the Design
The inclusion of this sign's design on a hoodie celebrates the history of Highway 504, a route that once connected communities in Ontario. While the highway is no longer maintained by the province, the design serves as a reminder of its past and the original provincial highway system.
The design pays tribute to the visual language of road signage in Ontario, representing a moment in time and the standardized design of a secondary highway during the period it was maintained by the province. The simple, direct aesthetic of the sign reflects the clear and functional nature of road signs.
