Illinois license plate design contest

Maryland's plate is boring, but I have it anyway.

Why wouldn't they want to make these plates attractive and stand out? Aren't we trying to educate the public and make a statement? We saw one yesterday from out of state and it was very nice and really caught your attention. I hope ours aren't plain

C'mon you artist ladies out there, come up with a really cool design, ppplease

I'd say simple is better. The one I like the best is the Oregon one:



The way I think about this is that most people will look at it only a couple of seconds. The message should be easy to read. Lots of colors and a fancy graphics can obscure the message.

I like Oregon. I'm hoping for bright yellow, based on the share the road signs.

I don't like the sign on the left... the graphic it's too small. But I already mailed my reservation form, anyway.

This is so cool! I didn't know MO was getting them,too (I just have standard plates), but come next Sept. I will be getting some!

This (almost) makes me wish I still lived in Illinois. I really like it.

I love the "same rights, same rules" - i.e., shared responsibility.

Here is Oklahoma's, we got them for both cars just this year. Makes me feel like I'm doing a little something to advocate for cyclists.

Catrin,

Gah! I leave the state and they finally get a plate. I may tell mom to get one if she cares to. Dad is a lost cause. He wouldn't give up his IU alumni plate for anything!
