Segnale Stradale Italiano 1906 - Dogana (Blue Version) T-Shirt: Design Overview
A Historic Road Sign Reimagined
This T-shirt showcases the iconic "Segnale Stradale Italiano 1906 - Dogana versione blu," a piece of Italian road sign history. The design celebrates the early standardization of road signage by the Touring Club Italiano (TCI), specifically focusing on the "Dogana" (Customs) sign.
Visual Elements and Meaning
The core of the design is the distinctive blue-and-white color scheme, a signature feature of the "versione blu." A deep blue background provides a striking contrast for the white lettering and symbols. The primary element is the word "DOGANA," representing the customs station, often accompanied by multilingual equivalents like "ZOLLAMT" and "CUSTOMS" to reflect its border-crossing function. A prominent downward-pointing arrow indicates the direction of the customs checkpoint.
The typography and graphic style are reminiscent of early 20th-century design sensibilities, reflecting the period when this signage was first introduced. This captures the design's historical essence.
Symbolism of the Design
The sign's presence serves as an announcement to travelers that they are approaching a customs station. The direction arrow provides a clear indication to the traveler of which direction to go.
