WV-63 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a design inspired by the historical WV-63 road sign from 1922, a piece of West Virginia's early highway system. The artwork evokes the era when automobile travel was still in its infancy, and road signage was rudimentary but essential.
Visual Elements and Representation
The central element of the design replicates the original 1922 road marker style. It features the distinctive, simplified aesthetic of the time. This design captures the essence of early road markings: a rectangular shape, two prominent red bands sandwiching a white central stripe, and the route number stenciled prominently within the white space.
The placement of “WV-63” directly references the highway's designation. The inclusion of the year "1922" reinforces the historical context, grounding the design in the origins of West Virginia's numbered highway system. The absence of the modern highway shield represents the time period, focusing on simple functionality rather than sophisticated graphics.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design speaks to the history of road travel and the evolution of transportation infrastructure. It signifies a time when roads were being developed, and travelers relied on straightforward, functional signage to navigate. The simple design reflects the practicality of the time, and the design's focus on the route number pays homage to the beginning of the road network that connects the state.
Ultimately, the artwork serves as a visual reminder of the evolution of transportation, inviting a nostalgic look back at the past.
