RWBA Symbol 22 - Tankstelle auch mit bleifreiem Benzin (Road Sign) - Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the iconic RWBA Symbol 22, a piece of automotive history originating from Germany. The design is a direct representation of a specific road sign implemented in 1984.
Visual Elements
At the heart of the design is a stylized fuel pump silhouette. A black pump shape sits prominently in front of a green pump, creating a layered effect. This double-pump representation hints at the availability of two types of fuel.
Meaning and Symbolism
The entire design is contained within the familiar blue square frame used on German motorway service signs. This frame’s context indicates that the sign represents a service offered along the route. The stylized petrol pumps act as a visual shorthand for a "Tankstelle" or petrol station. This design was specifically used to indicate that the service station offered unleaded gasoline. The green pump in combination with the black shape symbolized the availability of "bleifreies Benzin" or unleaded petrol, marking a pivotal moment in automotive and environmental consciousness.
The design’s clean lines and distinctive use of color make it a recognizable emblem of its time, communicating a clear and concise message to motorists. It celebrates a piece of German road sign history.
