Virginia 108 1956 Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design celebrates a piece of Virginia's transportation history, faithfully recreating the look of the Virginia Route 108 road sign as it appeared in 1956. The artwork is a direct visual representation of a bygone era of road travel.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic shape of the Commonwealth of Virginia itself, a state-outline shield, in a crisp white. A thin, elegant black border traces the outline of the state, lending definition and visual structure to the artwork.
Bold, black block lettering at the top displays "VIRGINIA," clearly identifying the state. Centered beneath this, the number "108" is rendered in equally bold, black numerals. This signifies the specific route number that the sign marked, guiding travelers across Southside Virginia.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design speaks to a sense of place and heritage. The state outline itself is a powerful symbol of Virginia, instantly recognizable and a source of state pride. The sign, as a whole, represents the infrastructure of travel, the evolution of signage, and a connection to the open road.
The use of the 1956 design specifically marks a particular point in time. It evokes an older aesthetic, before retroreflective sheeting became widespread. The classic design speaks to a time of simpler travel and a more traditional approach to road signage.
