New OK route sheld spotted on Indian Nation Turnpike.

I don't really see any difference in the way the numbers interact with the state outline of the meat cleaver than they do Florida's outline.

The meat cleaver is so lame that even the circle is a big improvement on it. It's a shame because they could have done more with it.

Speaking as someone who drives past them every time I leave the city, and has two of them in his house...They're really not that bad once you actually see one in the field.

Yeah, I concur with Scott that the meat cleaver shield actually looks pretty nice. I like it just as much (if not better than) the Texas state highway shield.

Florida's design works far better because the 180° rotated L-shape of the Florida state outline allows numerals to fit better. Yeah, a lot of the Gulf Coast side of the state shape is deleted, but the iconography of the FL state shape still reads through clearly.
That's not the case in the Oklahoma design. It takes both the Red River border portion and Panhandle for the OK state icon to read clearly. But in this case we have numerals deleting some or even all of that Red River portion of the shape.

I've seen them in the field many times and remain quite unimpressed. It's a square (which is a duller shape than a circle, IMHO) with an offset outline halfway above the number. Seems off-balance and is boring. At least Florida nestles the numbers into the Gulf Coast, which looks balanced and even.
