Highway Chrome 3D text effect
ROUTE 66 is set in a squared sans, with polished pale blue metal faces, dark red sides and a red accent. A soft glow trims the bevels, and dark blue stripes recede into near-black behind the lettering, like a stretch of night highway.
Road trip vlogs, motorcycle club patches, garage signage and travel poster titles come to mind. In the Studio, enter another route or place, pick a wider font, trade the blue for silver or chrome, and adjust the stripe background.
