Virginia 00 (1918) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design showcases a piece of Virginia's transportation history, specifically a replica of a 1918 state route marker. The artwork faithfully recreates the template used for road signs during a period of early highway standardization in Virginia.
Visual Elements
The central image is the distinctive shape of the sign: a pointed-bottom shield, also resembling a somewhat triangular or egg-shaped form. Within this shield, the design elements are meticulously placed. At the top, a placeholder for the route number, "00," indicates the adaptability of the design for various routes. Below this, a circular depiction of the Virginia state seal is displayed, symbolizing the state's authority and jurisdiction over the highways.
The words "STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION" are prominently featured beneath the seal, further emphasizing the governmental origin and purpose of the signage. The color palette of the design is simple yet effective, featuring a black outline and text set against a white or light-colored background. This contrast enhances readability and ensures visibility.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant era in road signage development. It symbolizes the early efforts to establish a standardized and organized highway system within Virginia. The shield shape, state seal, and official wording all convey a sense of authority, order, and the state's commitment to managing its transportation infrastructure. The "00" placeholder highlights the system's flexibility, designed to accommodate a wide variety of routes across the Commonwealth. This design is a visual testament to Virginia's evolving road network and its historical journey.
