Across the top of the Texas outline, the word "TEXAS" is boldly displayed in a classic font. Beneath this, the prominent number "1" anchors the design, denoting the specific highway designation. The color scheme is a classic combination of black lettering against a white background, ensuring high visibility and recognition. The black border further defines the Texas outline, providing contrast and visual clarity.
