Hey everyone! The US plates return! We only have ten left (Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, and West Virginia), so the five not requested will be the final five. Canada has Nunavut, Manitoba, and Newfoundland/Labrador left (will be designed in that order). I can’t believe I’m almost done with these! I hope y’all have enjoyed them!
Just to explain - VT’s is based off an old flag, and and HI’s is based off the royal ensign of Kauilani.

Would slight block serifs here make this better?

No, just on any that have an “I”. The R and H above look like they’re about to fall over. Not sure how it will look with the serifs; just a thought...

Ohhhh... that clears it up. I’ve thought about it, but there aren’t any that look very good. I’ll check out a few more fonts, but I’m not sure how much I can do about it.

Yeah, it’s not a major problem. Honestly, I wouldn’t mess with finding another font. Just spending 5 minutes in Illustrator to add some small block serifs to one of the designs with an “I” should tell you if it’s worth pursuing or not.

Yup, CS6. Creative Cloud membership is a load of crap and I’m broke.

Hopefully you end up making enough scratch off of these to remedy that last bit! I’m still on CS5 Design Premium.

Yeah... I’ve made about half of these at school though, and I’m using Elements 11 for those.

Get
Inkscape, it’s free
and doesn’t suck. I actually like it better than Illustrator for sparse vector work.
As a bonus the SVG format is human parse-able and plaintext-encoded so it is’s easy to throw into automation without investing in special software (this is a large part of what I do for work; automated production graphics)

I have it, and my printer says a .eps or a PDF file should work fine.

Inkscape is what other Free/OSS design software aspires to be. Even without the font editor complete, incomplete documentation/cross-platform support for the commandline and some minor stability issues, it is a usable, intuitive (I’m looking at you GIMP) solution thats genuinely competive with commercial solutions while also eschewing proprietary file formats.
I have donated several times to the project. It deserves it!

Sorry, you lost me. I’m just a 15-year-old using Photoshop lol. It’s been fine for what I’m doing. I’ve taught myself how to use it over about two and a half years now, and I’ve never touched the console or command line or whatever.

I wish states went back to the simple designs. All the crappy graphics look like one of these at more than 20 feet.
