Here's a real life photo of the new 'Spectacular Peninsula's" Michigan license plate (with some digits obviously removed). I took this photo just as it was getting dark so the flash would fire and you'd be able to see some of the hidden details of the plate that are not apparent in the daylight (like the ribbon running down the center).
I've only seen a few of these on the road thus far - and from a distance they aren't as eye-catching as the old "Great Lake's Splendor" plate. The new ones look nicer up close in the daytime -- no orange is a good thing -- but to me they look a bit too much like Minnesota's color combination.
I like having the option to display a different license plate - and just about anything looks better than the new standard issue plain blue letters on white background one that's being issued this year to replace 'Old Blue'.
And does anyone else think those old white on blue plates are much easier to read- in the daytime at least? I suppose the new ones are better at night, but my guess is that the decision to change is more about money and less about readability.
