While I was driving a few weeks ago 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.

Beginning tomorrow, we’ll be examining five plates per day, starting with number fifty and working our way up. 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.
