WIS 112 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
A Journey Through Highway History
This t-shirt design celebrates the evolution of the WIS 112 road sign, a visual journey reflecting the history of Wisconsin's highway system. The design showcases three distinct eras, each represented by a key sign variant.
The Circle Era (1919-1926)
The first design element features the classic circle road sign from the early days of WIS 112. A black circle dominates the center of a white square background, boldly displaying the number "112." The simplicity and boldness of this design reflect the nascent stage of highway infrastructure, representing the initial efforts to mark and navigate Wisconsin's roads.
The Square Era (1926-1940s)
The second design showcases the square road sign from the mid-20th century. "WISCONSIN" is prominently displayed across the top in bold black lettering, anchoring the design. Below, the number "112" is centered, also in a bold black font. This square design marks a shift towards more standardized signage, aiming for clear legibility and state identification.
The Modern Shield Era (Post-1948 to Present)
The final and current design features the modern shield: a white square with a thin black border. Small lettering "WISCONSIN" is placed at the top and the large bold number "112" centered below. This contemporary design signifies the maturity and standardization of Wisconsin's highway system, offering a familiar visual cue to drivers and representing WIS 112 as an active, local route.
A Unified Statement
Together, these three designs represent the evolution of the WIS 112 road sign and the modernization of the Wisconsin highway system. The t-shirt becomes a wearable piece of Wisconsin history, a conversation starter for those who appreciate design and highway heritage.
