I just looked at one today on a parked car, from a graphic designers standpoint this thing seems kind of a mess:

PENNSYLVANIA is a sans serif block type font, the Let Freedom Ring is a pseudo Colonial printing press style font and a different size. Then the numbers are larger than the letters on the actual plate info. Maybe that was done for plate reader cameras? The Liberty Bell is missing its wooden yoke and basically disappears past 3-4 feet. The actual plate in the wild looks nowhere as good as the renderings.

Its really kind of astonishing how effective the government is at fucking every damn thing up to the highest degree.

I saw one of the new PA plates in on a car in NC last week. It's... um... interesting looking.



Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

The renderings look pretty good

Out in the wild, they are not great

The Liberty Bell looks like a smudge of dirt past 3 feet

Perfectly put. I ordered a custom one for my 91 Miata, and while mine sorta works, because I have a space exactly in the middle, those that have a character in the middle are pretty much a fail. Though on the bright side, since they're PA plates, they'll probably all peel off in a few years anywhere (I'm looking at you "J" plates!).

That is a cool plate. It figures, 60 years as a PA resident with boring plates. I move out of state and they get a good one.
