This covers commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, a multitudinous celebration exalting the culture of the main component and certainly most influential sector of the Hispanic population in NYC.
It’s a big event where millions align along Fifth Avenue to wave their flags in a feast of blue red and white. In this occasion it reached a respectful half a century anniversary and there was not better way to display it that using the numbers as a main focal point.
The shiny texture of the numbers complements the gold of years (años) at the bottom, the volume is for dimensional readability and the flag colors are everywhere.
