Virginia 189 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This design showcases a piece of Virginia's transportation history: a visual representation of the road sign for Virginia State Route 189, as it would have appeared around 1980. The artwork faithfully recreates the iconic shield, a familiar sight for travelers navigating the state's roadways during that era.
Design Elements
The central element of the design is the state highway shield itself. The familiar shape, a stylized representation of the state's outline, houses the number "189" in a bold, easily readable font. This number clearly identifies the specific route. The color scheme, representative of the standard used at the time, reinforces the sign's official nature.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design speaks to a sense of place and time. It evokes the spirit of travel and the open road, recalling a period of simpler road signage. The shield itself serves as a symbol of navigation and direction, a marker for those seeking to discover or traverse the southeastern Virginia landscape. It represents a connection to the past, reminding us of the evolution of the state's transportation infrastructure and the historical aesthetic of its road signs.
