One day I was driving and I saw an out-of-state licensed plate and my first thought was, “Wow, that’s hideous.”  I had never really considered the art and design that goes into creating a license plate, but after taking a look at what each state’s plate looks like, there’s definitely a significant discrepancy between the best and the ones that looked like they were done in Microsoft Word with Clip Art by an intern with an axe to grind.

I didn’t anguish much over these rankings, so if you’re annoyed your state ranks lower than you think it should, then I did my job.

States 50 thru 46
States 45 thru 41
States 40 thru 36
States 35 thru 31
States 30 thru 26
States 25 thru 21
