Virginia 190 1956 (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This design showcases a piece of Virginia history: the iconic road sign for State Route 190, as it appeared in 1956. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original highway marker.
Design Elements
The central element of the design is a shield, rendered in a simple yet distinctive style. Black numerals, "190," are prominently displayed against a stark white background. This color scheme, a classic of mid-century highway design, ensures high visibility and legibility.
The shape of the shield itself, with its rounded edges, embodies the aesthetic of the era. The typography of the numbers is indicative of the standardized font used by the Virginia Department of Transportation during this time. The overall effect is a clean and straightforward presentation, reflecting the functional and practical design principles of the period.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design serves as a visual homage to a bygone era of American road travel and state highway design. It symbolizes the infrastructure of Virginia in the mid-20th century, a time of significant growth and change influenced by the advent of the Interstate system.
More than just a number, "190" represents a specific route, a journey, and a connection between places within Virginia. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, when road signs like these guided travelers along the state's highways.
