New South Carolina Route Marker

I got the idea off of the new South Carolina auto tag / license tag/plate / registration plate.

This is my draft version.

And I was just thinking... the picture frame around the image needs to be narrower or striped, like on a standard sign; the slogan can easily get outdated and needs to go. I'll post the final version up and link to two discussion boards / forums sometime soon.

New Route Marker for Arkansas

This is based on Arkansas being the home to the Diamond Crater State Park; and the reverse of their State Commemorative Quarter bearing a diamond right underneath its date of establishment.

Size of the sign blade will be about 26¼ in. by 24 in. Height of the numerals 10"

New Arizona Sign

This one is based on their license plate. (The one I created before was based on their flag.)

 



It's a simple design, with the state name bannered at the top in Candara typeface about 5" height and the route number in big (12") numerals in the middle in the US Series D Highway Gothic typeface. The state nickname is at the lower right in the same typeface as on the license plate, scaled up with the scenery on the bottom.

In Memoriam

Well the original The Great International Highway Makeover webpage is no longer with us; it was a webpage of RV Droz's US-Highways.com website, which has since been taken down.

If any of the contributors to the old TGIHMO wishes to have their Route Marker Designs up on the internet again, please let me know in the comments section or by emailing me at: ed_miessner@yahoo.com, and please use the banner, "Route Marker Design". (Otherwise I night delete it as junk email, which I get a lot of.)

Thanks!

New New Mexico Route Marker!

No, it's not for real (yet) but it's my latest design for route markers we'd like to see in that state.

The size of the sign is 36" wide by 30" high with 12" high numerals and a 9" high/wide Zuni.

It's been very long.

I've had real life problems to solve (more over at my sister blog, Fin Des Voies Rapides (If Peak Oil Is No Object) here on Blogger) and I've also been working on a new highway route marker design for New Mexico, based on their turquoise registration plate. The ones so foar I've grown to hate. Posting soon!
