Virginia 102: A Snapshot of 1956 Roadside History
This design celebrates a piece of Virginia's highway history: the 1956 Virginia Route 102 road sign. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the iconic signage that once guided travelers through Tazewell County.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The shirt features the distinctive shape of the Commonwealth of Virginia itself, rendered as a white outline against the shirt's background. This shape immediately identifies the location and state represented by the route.
A bold, black outline frames the Virginia silhouette, giving the design a clear, defined edge. This border emphasizes the state's unique geographical form.
At the top, "VIRGINIA" is displayed in uppercase letters, reflecting the official state naming convention of the era. The route number, “102”, boldly appears in the center, rendered in black. The number directly represents the specific road, acting as a functional identifier.
The clean and straightforward design evokes the era's practicality and the clarity of early highway signage. The use of a simple color palette – white on a dark background – mirrors the reflective qualities of the original metal signs, designed for maximum visibility day or night.
This design encapsulates the essence of a bygone era, recalling the simple, functional elegance of mid-20th-century American road travel.
