I first noticed these over 20 years ago and many midwest and northeast states (through at least the 1990s) stick with old text STOP ahead signs, including Iowa and Minnesota! Those text signs quickly got old by (say) 1990 and the symbolized signs are much better! They are easier for drivers to understand the warning. However, I HATE it when some DOT's try to make signs fluorescent/neon yellow when they only need to be hi-intensity prismatic.
