Design & Inspiration

This design combines the iconic U.S. Route 66 shield shape with imagery drawn from the California State Flag, including the grizzly bear and “California Republic” text. Route 66 officially ran from Chicago to Santa Monica from 1926 until its decommissioning in 1985, with California marking the highway’s western endpoint. The bear symbolizes strength and unyielding resistance, representing the grizzly that once roamed California. Portions of the original roadway are now preserved as State Historic Highway Route 66, keeping the road’s legacy alive through historic signage and landmarks.
