WIS 43 1970 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic road sign for Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 43 as it appeared in 1970. The design reflects the evolution of Wisconsin's highway signage from the earlier, simpler designs.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a square white shield. A thin, black border cleanly outlines the shape, providing a crisp frame. Inside the white shield, the bold black numerals "43" are centered, conveying the highway's designation.
Representation and Meaning
The design represents a specific historical moment in Wisconsin's transportation history. It's a snapshot of the state's highway system in 1970, before the renumbering of WIS 43 to WIS 142. The sign itself, a standard state highway marker of the era, symbolizes the network of roads and the history of travel within Wisconsin.
The clean and direct visual style of the sign, using only black and white, reflects the utilitarian nature of road signage, intended for clear and immediate communication. The simplicity of the design is its strength, easily identifiable and readily understood by anyone familiar with Wisconsin's roadways.
