US 60 1948 Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases a faithful reproduction of the US 60 highway marker as it appeared in 1948. The design pays homage to a pivotal moment in American road signage history, representing the first major update to the U.S. Route shield since the system's inception in 1927.
Visual Elements and Representation
The central element is the iconic cutout shield silhouette, a shape instantly recognizable as a marker of the U.S. Highway system. Within the shield, the number "60" prominently displays the route it designates.
The typography is a key distinguishing feature of the 1948 design. The block letters of earlier versions were replaced with the newly standardized FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) fonts. These fonts were selected to enhance legibility, reflecting the era's focus on accommodating increased speeds and traffic flow.
The design adheres to the standard layout of the 1948 MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). It captures the essence of this historic sign, reminding us of a time when the American highway system was undergoing its initial post-war modernization. The sign represents a moment of transition in highway design, embodying the spirit of post-war expansion and the evolving American landscape.
