Yeah, thats pretty bad.
The new Maryland plate is pretty crappy, too.

Graphic Design is more than knowing how to use photoshop and illustrator.
I think these design decision were made by secretarial pools acting as art directors. bad. bad. bad.

I'd like to see a pic of it on a car
The MN Critical Habitat plates looked strange to me by this image

But they actually look pretty good in person. Especially the first one on a black vehicle

Yeah, maybe I'll get used to it eventually, but I've seen a couple of the new ones, and they look like postcards.

The green Massachusetts plates. They didn't put much effort into the design.

The sad thing is that there was a contest where locals got to design tags and then there was an online poll to pick which one. Obviously there wasn't any good signs since this is actually the best of them all. I prefer that old one since it's just plain and simple.

New York plates used to be very nice, now they made them orange and disgusting. Orange is one of my least favorite colors.

haha, I love those red and white plates. Miss 'em. Even the White and Blue ones afterwards were good.

The orangeish-yellow/tubgirl color is fugly. I'm surprised they even started making those plates when there was such huge public disapproval even in the proposal states
