Virginia 22 (1924) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design pays homage to a pivotal moment in Virginia's highway history: the 1924 redesign of its route markers. It directly references the second generation of signs used to mark the roads across the Commonwealth.
Artwork & Visual Elements
At its heart, the design is a faithful representation of the 1924 Virginia Route 22 sign. The artwork showcases a starkly minimalist aesthetic. A clean, rectangular white background provides the canvas. Bold, black block numerals, the number "22", are centered and prominently displayed.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design's simplicity speaks volumes. It embodies the streamlining efforts of the early 1920s to simplify navigation and reduce production costs. By eliminating the "VA" prefix used in the 1918 design and adopting a plain, unadorned format, the sign represents a step towards standardization and efficiency in highway marking.
The color palette of white and black further enhances the design's clarity and functionality. The high contrast ensures maximum legibility, crucial for drivers navigating the roads. This design is a historical emblem of the evolution of the road signs, celebrating the forgotten past of Virginia’s highway signage.
