Visual Elements and Representation
The artwork centers on a stark black-and-white square, echoing the simple and functional design of the original sign. At the top, the abbreviation "WIS" proudly proclaims the state of origin, while the large, centered "78" dominates the visual space. This layout is a direct replica of the first-generation highway signs.
