TheGiantsFan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hmm, for the inukshuk polar bear one, may I suggest splitting the serial (so it reads "918 25" or something) or moving the inukshuk to the left side of the plate.

Tony Spike Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 since we dont really do coloured and patterned plates here you should try some uk onesheres the fonthttp://www.dafont.com/uk-number-plate.fontperhaps one for each county would be interesting but one for each country would work just as wellThanks, I already have the UK plate font, but I had plans on continuing with my North Americanized style since the Euro size doesn't allow for much in the creativity department. Naoned Pride is already doing France plates too so there's really not much point. If I was to make plates, I would separate Scotland, England, Whales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Bailiwick of Jersey and Bailiwick of Guernsey with Sark being separate. But it's unlikely to be any time soon.mind if i give it a go then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sure go ahead Tony.and TGF, the bear one is unlikely, but it is the Nunavut Flag that its imitating. I tried my best to avoid bleeding and it is still legible, but I experimented with different positions and they all looked like hell. I was more focused on the Inukshuk one to give them a special memorable design. Anything anyone can suggest to make it a little better? btw the Registration sticker goes in the middle US and World License Plate Redesign - Fixing the Elite Ice Hockey League - NHL to Soccer Crossover - European Hockey League Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Now that I'm finally done school, I can worry more about this thread and other possible concepts. Too bad my mouse is being very glitchy today, so I will post some concepts I already have finished.I'll worry about Nunavut later. Right now I have one radical redesign and one very minor one.British Columbia's fuses their logo with the waves of their flag. I wanted to make sure it looked nothing like any of the states surrounding it so I thought this would fit nicely. For Ontario, I just brought back the 3 sublimated Trilliums in the centre that are reflectors. They used this for maybe 3 years about 5 years ago using the old Trillium logo, so I just brought it back to add a bit of life to our boring, yet historic plate.

TheGiantsFan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 LOVE the British Columbia plate! That's all I really gotta say because of how good it looks.As for Ontario, I never really noticed a trillium reflector on Ontario plates. Pretty unique.Great to see this thread is picking up steam again! BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1clkgtramg Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've been holding on to these for a while, but since I'm not sure the timeline of this thread, I might as well just post them since they were long awaited. New York's plates have always been pretty amazing. I have touched on 3 base eras and tied them together with matching patterning and fonts to make them fit together - they almost feel like Soccer Kits. Many hate the Gold/Blue Empire Gold plates but they are originally a tribute to the 1974-1984 Gold Plates. Prior to that, NY used a reversed colour scheme. I flipped the wordmark to the bottom and got rid of the curve in favour for a flat horizontal stripe. The NY state divider remains.The next is the Liberty plate from 1986 to 2001. This one - albeit very simple - is one of my favourites. The only thing that bugged me was that the Statue of Liberty was just floating. A small note is that the NEW YORK script is off centre due to the positioning of the flame, but you barely notice it when it all ties together. The same stylized stripe from the Gold one is on this one as well, same font too.This one is a more recent design that started in 2001-2010. I must say although its cluttered, I liked this one as well and prefer it over the newer Empire Gold Plate. This one ties in everything from Niagara Falls, the Appalacian Mountains and NYC. Remaking it was a real annoyance but I think it looks alright, I also added the new WTC since the last one didnt have it. Same stripes appear on this one.

VictoriaGooner Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I don't know if you knew or not, but the Government of Alberta planning on changing the provincial licence plate. They are sending out survey's to see which of the three designs are liked the best by the population."The design with the most votes will be selected for the new plate, which will be unveiled this fall. The new plate is expected to be available at Alberta Registries by Spring 2015"There are some good designs...http://alberta.ca/licence-plate-survey.cfm THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGiantsFan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I really like your cleaned-up New York plates. Very classy and elegant. My only issue is that I feel that the "NEW YORK" on the "Empire Blue" plates is a bit too big. You should make it a bit smaller and I'm sold.I don't know if you knew or not, but the Government of Alberta planning on changing the provincial licence plate.

1clkgtramg Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I voted for #1 because in reality, it would be easier to read than the gradient one. both are pretty solid, but I feel both need some work. #1 is too artificial, #2 is too realistic, if there was some common ground between them, it would be great. I would also prefer Wild Rose Country at the bottom rather than Alberta.ca. The provinces haven't caught on to the US's advertisements on the plates and I wish they never do - either way, I got my "Yours to Discover" plates before they change, if they do.

1clkgtramg Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Another custom Province plate. I may change the website link since I have finally established a name for my country, or I may keep it because I don't believe it's taken yet - at least on its own, like Canada.I will also put links to my States/Provinces/Territories individual links from Nation States so if anyone wants to see the flag and such. Working on history's too, but only East York has one so far.

1clkgtramg Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 haha, it's not irony, it was in fact on purpose. I know that York (UK) has the White Rose as a popular symbol, where in Ontario, the White Trillium is the Provincial Flower. York (Canada) is the old name for Toronto - my hometown - and that's where I got the name from. Also, the Canadian York has a Trillium in the logo as well so I wanted to touch on both namesakes by doing it this way.

1clkgtramg Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 So it appears that this section of the forums is starting to get some views so I guess I should continue my License Plate adventures haha. After driving to NYC and back, seeing all those license plates sparked me to continue this series. It doesn't help that my internet just seems to not want to work for the last few weeks.So my creativity might not be at its peak especially with the NHL Soccer Crossover Thread I've been working on, but I wanted a simple clean, black look for Virginia. I have had this logo in my head for a while and I think I finally got it down. Basically I am trying to put 4 Virginia icons/symbols together. The Anchor is pretty obvious, the chevrons represent the Navy as well as being a tree (it originally was just a tree) representing the Appalachian Mountains. Then I flipped it over and realized it was shaped like a heart - Virginia is for lovers - it just kinda worked.

1clkgtramg Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Here's some Rhode Island. I wanted to make a square plate like the flag but was too troublesome so I just made a rope boarder and used the anchor from the flag offset to the left. Pretty simple but I absolutely hate that stupid looking wave plate design so I felt this was the best move.
