CCS: The Lone Star State got rid of the star around 1950. The original sign was a Texas Ranger Badge type bit. My design reincorporates the star without changing the current sign excessively.
RVD: Texas is an odd state. Their primary route makers are black and white squares, with the state name. Boring and sad considering they had a unique Ranger / Star shield before that. Their secondary routes, the Ranch-to-Market (RM) and Farm-to-Market (FM) routes use a white state outline on a black shield. That shield looks great, and should have been the state highway marker. Taking this a step further, I added the state flag colors to this shield, and kept the state name.
From Albert Calis: Here's my idea for a Texas state road shield. It's basically the design from the state flag.
From Mark Ingalls: Here's my idea of a Texas Farm to Market Road Highway Sign.
