I will agree though that there are A TON of special plates and some of them are quite ugly.
Yes, the standard white/green plates look nice, and they're iconic. All these "specialty" plates are just fugly. And they look stupid with the flat letters/numbers.

A lot of states are going with flat plates.

Yup. Cheaper and more efficient to paint the plate than having to mechanically stamp each one.

And they're mostly all hideous. They look like someone printed them out on plastic. I hope CO never ruins the base plates with flat font.

Our custom special flat license plates look better than other states. We'll do better.

There is no plan to ruin the standard plates with flat lettering. The "special" plates look like a high school art project.

Not really. Wyoming has flat standard plates, and they use a real photograph as the background. Looks way better than the stone age simple embossed garbage Colorado has.

+1. I despise the flat plates as well, though I'm sure the default Colorado plate will eventually be ruined and made flat, since that seems to be the trend. You said it best; they look like cheap/flimsy pieces of plastic. I'll keep my standard plates for as long as I can.

This WY plate is pure garbage! The font just looks cheap and wrong. And I don't care to display someone's ugly "art project" on my car.

"the trend"


No more Tool and Die Makers in USA, we are all dead or retired.
No more FREE prison labor (the inmates are all watching TV)

EZ and CHEAP to print them, just like T-shirts.
Can change the colors / patterns / lettering with the keyboard.
