PA-83 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) T-Shirt - Design Description
Design Elements and Representation
The primary design element of this T-shirt is a visual representation of the Interstate 83 (I-83) road sign found in Pennsylvania. The artwork replicates the iconic interstate shield: a red, white, and blue emblem.
The shield itself is the central and most prominent feature, symbolizing the highway's identity within the U.S. Interstate Highway System. The number "83" is prominently displayed within the shield, using a bold, clear font. This signifies the specific route and its connection to the state of Pennsylvania.
The color scheme is faithful to the official road sign, using the recognizable interstate shield colors. The red at the top and bottom, the white in the middle, and the blue outlining the whole. The arrangement and the font used are directly inspired by the actual highway signage.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design serves as a tribute to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Memorial Highway, as the entire I-83 in Pennsylvania is dedicated to them. It evokes a sense of place and travel, instantly connecting the wearer to the road and the state of Pennsylvania.
The shield represents the smooth flow of the road. Moreover, the design creates a sense of familiarity for those who travel I-83 often and also sparks recognition among those who drive through the state. It also serves as a subtle nod to the history and designation of the highway.
