Visual Elements and Symbolism
The central element is a graphic interpretation of a vintage highway marker. It clearly displays the designation "WV-79," indicating West Virginia State Route 79. The inclusion of "1922" signifies the genesis of the state's numbered route system, placing the design firmly within a historical context. The "(Virginia)" element, while potentially a stylistic choice, adds an intriguing layer, perhaps a nod to the era's design influences or a deliberate blending of early road sign aesthetics. The overall aesthetic is clean and straightforward, reflecting the practical design of early highway markers.
The design’s simplicity and historical accuracy make it a statement piece for history enthusiasts and collectors of vintage Americana. It’s a direct visual connection to the dawn of the automobile age and the establishment of organized road networks, a period when route numbers and signage were pioneering efforts to guide travelers across evolving landscapes.
The artwork represents more than just a route number; it symbolizes the spirit of exploration, the early days of automotive travel, and the evolution of transportation infrastructure in West Virginia. It is a visual representation of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of American roadways.
