Is Colorado due for a new standard license plate design?

The last redesign was back in 2000, using the standard 123-ABC format w/ green over white mountains embossed. Right now they're onto RDP-123 format or using Q's.

What I'd like to see is do away with the embossed plates and go with flat screened and real photography. Looks more modern and nicer, not as plain.

My wife loves the mountain plates. Especially the blue ones. She always picks them out when we're on the highway or when she's checking out a jeep "colorado plates!" Lol

Alberta was going to introduce new ones, they get to vote on them but the idea got scrapped in 2014.

Default Change, in this case, is bad

No. A thousand times no.

License plates are about being able to easily identify a vehicle and nothing more.


Having said that, you want something fancy, the state offers many specialty plates for you to choose from. We wanted to show our support for the Rocky Mountain National Park so we spent the extra money to get these.

NO. The straightforward, bold, distinctive mountain graphic that already exists makes the CO plate a keeper, something that will always instantly communicate what state it is from. It is like the NM sun plate, the OR evergreen tree plate...not like the sea of vague, pale, or fussy designs so common now.

People who want something more ornate can already get one of the umpteen special plates, or a vanity plate.

I still see the plates with the county name on them. And there's a gazillion personal plates, so no. Current design is fine.

What area of the state has the inverse color plates? The green mountains, white text ones. That one was always my favorite but I didn't have a choice at the DMV.

NO. I hate the flat/non-embossed plates.

No. I have had the same green and white plates since I moved here in 1982.
