MDC STEP INTO MAH OFFICE >_> WE GOTZ TO TALK

Cali <333 represent ^_^

And what would that be about Mister SFGP?? Have I done something wrong? hehe

#36

Ohio



Ohio is the birthplace of aviation according to Ohio's license plate. Which is all fine and dandy but if they are going to put that slogan on the license plate then why not incorporate it into the design as well? I mean a faint sunrise in the background doesn't really have all that much to do with aviation. The license plate is a pretty good one otherwise. I like the font that they used for Ohio although I wish that the word was just a little bit bigger. It's sort of overshadowed by the registration number in the middle of the plate.

#35

North Carolina



Continuing with the aviation theme from the last plate that was ranked we have North Carolina. They may not have been the birthplace of aviation, but by golly they were the first to get a plane into flight. North Carolina did actually incorporate a plane into their design of the license plate along with the reeds at the bottom smartly indicating that the first flight indeed happened near a beach. They used that same faint background image style and that just doesn't appeal to me at much as ones higher on the list.

#34

Kentucky



I must say that Kentucky's license plate is rather plain, but what draws me to it is the logo for the state name. Otherwise this license plate would rank much lower. I mean all it has besides the logo is the state in the middle of the plate and a white to blue gradient. I like the font that they use for the state name and they smartly used their history as a state that is mainly known for the Kentucky Derby and raising horses and incorporated that into the state name. Almost like the horse is an extension of the name.

#33

Washington



I don't really have anything bad to say about Washington's license plate, but then again I don't think that it is all that good either. I guess it just falls into that category of being in the middle and all around meh. If the mountain had been in a bolder color in the background I might have liked it more, but it just seems like a very muted license plate. I would like to visit Washington someday though and maybe I will change my mind for the better if I see the plate in person.

#32

Kansas



If I had continued with the ranking when I first started back in February then Kansas may have been ranked lower in this update, but it gets a rise of a few places because of a very arbitrary reason. It sort of looks like the title shots that they used to promote Parks and Recreation (The new show with Amy Poehler) and I love that new show so I have to rank Kansas' license plate at #32 for that reason. Congrats Kansas for just having the right design at the right time.

#31

Hawaii



This might be quite a controversial ranking for some, but I will justify my reasons for ranking it this low. The rainbow is very cool and all and one of the reasons why I ranked it this high, but take the rainbow away and what do you have? You basically have a solid white background with black lettering. The epitome of boring. The rainbow does add a nice touch of cheeriness into the license plate though. I would say it makes for a very recognizable license plate from all of the other states.

#30

Florida



Finally a break from the blue/red colored license plates that dominated the last update in the countdown. I like the green color that they use for the state outline and the license registration number. The state outline in the background is a little bigger than all the previous state outlines that have graced other license plates and I like that. I think that it makes the plate stand out. Plus there is an orange on the plate and who doesn't like Florida Orange Juice?

#29

Washington DC



Is it just me or is there a "NO" missing from in front of the slogan at the bottom of the license plate? I mean it's like they are saying they want to be taxed unwillingly. Anyway Washington D.C. has a very official looking license plate as it should and the design is very fitting for the capital of a country. I don't know what the two stars over the "equals sign" means, but I guess it has to be something important if they put it on a license plate.

#28

Georgia



Maybe this license plate is ranked so high because I see it all the time living in the state to the left of Georgia. I think it just has that familiarity factor because if I lived in a state that isn't close to Georgia it would have ranked 10 to 12 places lower. I do think that it is a very modern and stark looking license plate. The logo of the state outline inside of the peach is very appealing even though that is basically the only thing going on.

#27

New Mexico



Yikes! Now I like color in license plates and that is why I have saved the white background plates for all the lower places, but this license plate just hurts my eyes if I look at it too long. Is it possible for something to be too yellow? It does have a very New Mexico feel to it though. The symbol in between the numbers and the letters and the stitching like pattern at the top of the license plate are proof of that. Maybe if the background color wasn't so bold I would rank it even higher.

#26

Minnesota



I guess you could say that Minnesota is like the first place license plate for the bottom half of the countdown. Every license plate from here on out is a nicely designed license plate. Minnesota plays up its name as the state with 10,000 lakes and it portrays one of those lakes across the top of the plate. Somehow it doesn't feel like there are just two colors in use here though. It feels like a whole lake scene has been accurately portrayed in just a small space.

The entire point is that the "NO" is missing, because they HAVE taxation without representation. So using that as a motto is brilliantly ironic. The three stars over the "equals sign" is George Washington's family crest and DC's flag. Not to be a douche, but did you not take US history?

*inserts foot into mouth*

In all honesty I did take US history in high school, but the teachers were all coaches so you can guess how much I learned in those classes. I guess I should have done some research before writing about something I didn't even know anything about. Thanks for your post!
