Texas 2 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This T-shirt showcases the design of the original Texas State Highway 2 road sign as it appeared in 1917. The design offers a glimpse into Texas's early automotive history and the evolution of its iconic road signage.
Design Elements
The artwork faithfully recreates the simple yet functional design of the 1917 sign. The primary visual element is a tall, vertical rectangle with a clean, uncluttered layout. A thick black border encloses the entire design, providing definition and structure.
At the top, the word "TEXAS" is prominently displayed in a bold, capitalized font, instantly identifying the state. Beneath "TEXAS," the route number "2" is displayed in large, clear black numerals. This numeral represents the specific highway designation, the South Texas Highway, connecting the Panhandle to the Mexican border.
Meaning and Symbolism
