US 60 Arizona 1956 West Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a faithful recreation of the iconic US 60 Arizona road sign as it appeared in 1956. The design is a vibrant and nostalgic representation of a bygone era in American highway history.
Key Visual Elements
The central element is the U.S. Route 60 shield, rendered in its classic form. The shield showcases the number "60" prominently, signifying the specific U.S. highway. The color scheme is a defining feature: a deep blue background with white lettering and numerals. This blue color specifically indicates that the sign designates the westbound direction, as was the practice in Arizona during the mid-1950s.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design serves as a powerful symbol of Americana and a tribute to the golden age of road travel. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when cross-country road trips were a fundamental part of the American experience, and highway signs were not yet fully standardized. The "West" direction adds another layer of meaning, representing a journey westward and a sense of exploration.
The design, being from 1956, signifies a specific moment in history before the widespread Interstate system, when U.S. highways were the main arteries of travel. The sign's design represents the Arizona Department of Transportation's design standards during that time period, including the use of color-coding for direction.
This design is not just a sign; it is a piece of historical artwork that tells a story of road travel, the evolution of highway design, and the spirit of adventure.
