Vote on the New SC License Plate

Apparently South Carolina is letting people vote online for the design of the new license plate. I think that's a neat idea, but I'm sort of disappointed with the three designs. Two of the designs feature a centered palmetto tree, just like the current one, but I like the current one better than either of those. The other design is the state flag tucked into the corner of the plate. It looks decent but I can see that one getting covered up by plate frames. My vote goes to the palmetto tree at sunrise/sunset, but I'd be happy to keep my current palmetto tree plate.

Update 2007-08-28: Looks like they picked the plate that I voted for (PDF warning). I still like the current plate better, and I don't care for the cheesy .com advertisement on the new plate. Plus, the new plate will aggravate SC Gamecock fans as it leans toward Clemson colors!

Waste of money. I like the current plate with “Smiling Faces…” with blue mountains and a green palmetto tree with “intaglio” (impressed) letters and numbers. This new one the SCDMV say it’s “digital” and I think it’s flat and ugly. The font is very ugly and the website name is ugly and looks “spammy” with”two” spelled as a number “2″. Very UNPROFESSIONAL plate. Waste of my tax money! I feel I paid all these state vehicle propertty taxes almost $500 !!! for one car and SC did not even ask me whether I wanted a new plate or not!

I LOVED the original plates and can't understand why they've changed them, especially to the one that won?!?! It looks and feels cheap. It also looks like it belongs in the southwest desert states -- certainly not an east coast state. The state name and the web address get covered up on the news if you have a plate frame like most vehicles have anyway. Ugh.

This is the UGLIEST plate in all the US. How can this happen. This plate the colors are so bad, very unrealistic. This is worse than the Bird Plate (wren) debockle. I already returned mine and got Surf Ridder Plate.
