Virginia 111 1980 (Virginia) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt showcases the iconic 1980 Virginia Route 111 road sign, a nostalgic piece of highway history. The design immediately identifies its origin, representing the primary road signage of Virginia during that era.
Visual Elements and Design
The artwork faithfully recreates the sign's key components. The central element is the outline of the state of Virginia, a shape instantly recognizable to residents and visitors alike. This shape acts as the primary visual identifier.
Within the white outline of Virginia, a bold black "111" signifies the highway's numerical designation. The font is a precise reproduction of the FHWA Series (Highway Gothic) used in 1980, reflecting the adoption of national standards for highway signage at that time. A thin, black border elegantly defines the Virginia outline, a clean and modern touch.
Meaning and Symbolism
The Virginia outline itself carries significant meaning. It represents the state's geographical identity and symbolizes the network of roads and the freedom of movement within Virginia. The number "111" denotes the specific route, adding to the sign's utilitarian function.
The design, as a whole, embodies the visual identity of Virginia highways in 1980, evoking a sense of history and nostalgia for a specific time and place. It stands as a tribute to the evolution of road signage and the unique style of Virginia's state route markers.
