The Inner Loop of Rochester, New York has an idiosyncratic shield: a Bus Carrell-style white trapezoid with rounded corners, with the black text "INNER LOOP" (example 1, example 2).

For the shield, I chose to omit the "INNER" and use just the text "LOOP", as there is no other loop route with similar signage in Rochester (the Outer Loop is instead signed as a sequence of Interstate and State routes). I considered "IL" as well, but I would expect that to be less intuitive.

I think the orange color is more proper; while it's sometimes in white I see that as akin to the Pennsylvania Turnpike signs sometimes being in white simply to contrast with a green background (when on guide signs vs standalone). It's also careening towards being a historical object so I expect the signage in its current state is pretty much "what you see is what you get".

While it may have been historically signed in orange, I couldn't find any extant examples of this color scheme on street-level imagery. Even the standalone signs are black-and-white, despite the lack of a green background.

Wondering if it would be a little nicer to vertically center the LOOP text, perhaps with a shallower angle on the sides?

White shield SGTM.

Just for kicks, I tried evening out the top and bottom padding for trapezoidDownShield to 3px each instead of 2px/4px:

Padding values adjusted to vertically center the text.
