Then what how how NC is *now* signing the "Future" Interstates?
http://www.duke.edu/~rmalme/i73seg10.html & 
http://www.duke.edu/~rmalme/i73seg4.html#seg5 (search for "Photo of only I-73 
sign along segment after its opening in December")
 
Those show the "Future" text in big bold text, but yes, they do have the 
"Interstate" text in them.  Maybe have the word "FUTURE" put about the 
Interstate shield like MapQuest does on their normal maps? 
http://www.mapquest.com/?version=1.0&hk=9-iIKqGNMU  You can see the text above 
"576" and I-376 Business.  This might work as a possible compromise and could 
work with also bannered US/State highways.
