1/probably not 50: Tennessee

Thoughts? This was pretty fun to make, so, up next: Texas, at the request of EL_ULY; vanity plate: “LOL BOOB”

Edit : I don’t know how to print something onto metal or plastic, but I did find !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . If there’s significant interest in this series, I might make these as novelty items and sell them, but if you live in a front plate state, I’m afraid you’re out of luck unless you want one just to have.

Neat idea! Do you plan to do all 50 states? I’m curious what Georgia would look like, although it would probably just be plain white with a peach on it...

You’d need a small part that’s uniform on all the plates that designate it as a North American plate, with a code for the state underneath. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the plate.

I don’t know of a Tennessee outside of North America, but ok.

I’m trying to incorporate elements of the flag, seal, or recognizable icon that represents the state.

You should do Michigan and incorporate the Mackinac bridge.

IMO Michigan has a pretty badass flag and that would be easier that the bridge, but we’ll see how it turns out.

I don’t know of a Germany or Spain or France and so on outside of Europe either, yet they all do it that way. You said you wanted plates like the European plates...

German (D=Deutchland):

Spain (E=Espagnol):

France:

Can you do Michigan but with orange barrels on the plate? Feel that really should be the symbol of our state

So there are “USA”-EU plates, for service members and diplomats from the US in the EU.

Note that the symbol above USA is the NATO logo. And that this is the “square” plate to fit US-style plate holes.

So for an EU-style US plate, I think you’re right on track. You get the emblem on the left with the state abbreviation underneath (like Duurtlang’s post) but with whatever colors make sense.

Different EU countries do have some different colors other than black text on white background. The UK, Luxemborg and the Dutch have black on yellow plates.

I could see him going with the French style, where on one side it says “USA” with a US flag or emblem on the left, and on the right a State. But, in the US there are markings (not in all states, but in many) that denote the county/region that the car comes from. If the plate is split like that, we lose the area for the county/region (like what is in the example.)

Wow, I’m taking this too seriously :D

Wouldn’t it be more accurate if the designation was for the United States? Switzerland isn’t part of the EU and its plates don’t have the EU logo:

That would work as well.

I’d tell ya to make a “MA55HOLE” one but our plates are kinda boring.

Seen these before, but your design looks better.

Eh I dunno. Your flag might be pretty cool on a plate.

I like to think mine is more representative of the state than those. And thanks!

I think the slim design just looks better than the taller ones we have. And thanks for the info!

We are a non-front plate state so this could just be a novelty item

If so, I’ll make one with the Davidson county seal rather than Shelby.

I grew up in Memphis and moved to Franklin last year year then bought a house on the outskirts of Murfreesboro.

So I wuold be alright with Shelby county

deprecated account > R Saldana [|Oo|======|oO|] - BTC/ETH/LTC Prophet 09/22/2015 at 10:45

So Williamson? Or stay Shelby?

R Saldana [|Oo|======|oO|] - BTC/ETH/LTC Prophet > deprecated account 09/22/2015 at 10:53

I would just stay Shelby, Rutherford County-where I live and Williamson County-where I work don’t feel like home yet to me.

Gotcha. I have no idea how to but I really wanna make this happen.

kickstarter?

EDM Novelty state/interest based plates ought to sell at least a few I bet you could turn at least a little profit.

No I have no idea how to actually make the product, as in putting the image onto metal or plastic.

Ah. If I actually end up selling these or something I could put a Davidson county seal on there instead of Shelby for you.

That would be appreciated. Memphis is butt. lol

In Michigan, the four seasons are known as Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.

If there’s isn’t snow on the ground, there are orange barrels. And vice versa.

In Tennessee we alternate between freezing, broiling, and occasionally nice.

How did you design these? Photoshop, I’m assuming? GREAT WORK!

Yep. First one on CS6 (at home), this one on Elements 11 (at school). And thanks!

Nice, you’re welcome.

Which font?

Great for design use, it seems.

Michigan is pothole/road work capital of the country, orange barrels as far as the eye can see

State intials, registration sticker, and web address are all in variants of Gotham (which Obama used on his famous “HOPE” posters) and the plate text itself used a free font simply called “License Plate.”

Yes, but just a quote. Now that I have some money I might actually get to it.

I am very interested. Especially if you swap in the Davidson or Sumner county seal!

I originally planned on doing that but it would be a ton of work. I’ll post to OPPO when something actually happens with this. Thanks for your interest!
