Virginia 114 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design: the iconic road sign for Virginia State Route 114, evocative of the 1980s. The artwork centers on the distinctive shield, the visual language used to identify primary state routes within Virginia.
The Route Marker: Core Design Element
The centerpiece is the shield itself, with its classic shape and color palette. A crisp white background provides a clean canvas. The number "114" is prominently displayed in a bold, black typeface, ensuring high visibility and immediate recognition. The shield is outlined with a black border, defining the shape and anchoring the design.
Historical Context: The 1980s Aesthetic
The "1980" designation suggests this is a design nod to an earlier iteration of the route marker. While the core elements remain consistent with modern signage, the aesthetic may subtly reflect details from the 1980s era, potentially including variations in font, edge detailing, or reflectivity that were prevalent at that time.
Symbolism: Navigation, History, and Place
The sign is a symbol of navigation and transportation within Virginia. It represents the route itself – a vital connection for travelers. For those familiar with the area, the sign evokes memories of travels along Peppers Ferry Road and the surrounding region. The design connects the wearer to the historical context of Virginia's road system, and to the locales that SR 114 traverses.
