Virginia 109 1956 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of Virginia road sign history. The artwork faithfully recreates the Virginia Route 109 sign as it would have appeared in 1956, a design instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the state's roadways of the era.
Visual Elements
The design features the distinctive silhouette of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This shape serves as the primary visual element, immediately identifying the state. A bold, black outline precisely traces the state's borders, providing a strong frame for the internal elements.
The number "109" is prominently displayed within the Virginia outline. These large, bold numerals are rendered in solid black, centered within the state's shape. The choice of typeface evokes the era, lending an authentic vintage feel to the design.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign itself is a symbol of navigation and transportation within Virginia. The state outline intrinsically represents the Commonwealth, while the number “109” indicates a specific, numbered route. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time on the open road.
The absence of additional text reinforces the sign's inherent simplicity. The state's outline is the primary identifier, solidifying a sense of place and regional identity. This design is purely functional and a symbol of Virginia's unique approach to its road signage.
