Replace the triangle with a pot leaf, and there you go.

Poor logo. Also, what's with the green (also on license plates)? The license plate has a green sky above the mountains. I don't understand.

The older license plates were reversed with green mountains and white sky. This logo is a throwback more than anything else.

Don't we all want to see our "nature"?

The word nature has dual meaning. It can mean our characteristics, or inherent qualities, or it can mean the physical world.

As for facebook, who cares? People go there to kvetch and/or brag. Nothing meaningful happens on a public facebook page.

They probably had it designed in the first 10 minutes~ but some always want to see something else first before they are happy. And it will work very well. Sorry ta all you doubters out there, but its better than a big blue C.

As a Colorado Exile to the EVERGREEN state 33 yrs ago... I prefer CO to have WHITE mtns. Beats the actual 'Ever-brown' mtns that cover a lot of the state! At least one can 'Dream - SNOW"

Dumb--another marketing dumb****s idea of creating a new "image" (and selling some equally idiotic bureaucrats and politicians to pay for it). I'm surprised that the same idiots have not rallied to abolish the state's State Seal design, since it incorporates visual references to mining and agriculture, two industries that many transplants seem to despise. Of course, most people these days are also too ignorant to translate the Latin state slogan on the seal, "Nil sine numine," meaning "nothing without Providence (God)." No doubt there would be people having a fit about that if they were smart enough to read it.

Colorado's state flag is actually pretty well-recognized--it was designed back in 1911 and still looks modern today. For those who've never noticed, the state flag contains the same colors as the state flower, the Colorado columbine, often displays.

As to the Colorado license plates, for those of us who have been around long enough (half-century plus) to remember, Colorado used to re-issue license plates every year. One year the plate would be green-on-white, the next it would be white-on-green. They used to be county-coded, too--using a county number designation (still used on vehicle titles) and, beginning 1959 until the 1990's, with two-letter alpha prefixes that were county specific.
