CCS: Again in the "Not Messing Too Much With Tradition" Line, here's a makover of the West Virginia State Highway sign. (Large version on Big Signs page)
RVD: Again in the "Messin' With Tradition" Line, here's my rework of the Mountain State's Highway sign. Much as I like the look of the blue fading on CCS's sign, solid colors should be easier to manufacture and last longer in the field. Also, the state's shape is hard to make out on his version. I added the "Mountaineers" logo from WVU and West Virgina University colors to my version. This should be very popular, a recognizable symbol of state pride.
From Brian Grady: A possible state highway sign for West Virginia. It features the state name, outline, and colors (based primarily on a major university in the state). Perhaps in a more organized and less bureaucratic world, all 50 states could adopt a common format along the lines of this design. It adds needed color, but wouldn't baffle any unintelligent out-of-state commuters.
