Vote for South Carolina’s License Plates
Yes, you can. I did. Have you?
If you click through to see how “awesome” the designs are, you make sure you go ahead and vote for one, okay? Because letting public officials randomly pick designs and opening up the final selection to everyone on the planet Earth to vote always turns out well. Lower (and at the same time, raise) your expectations and you won’t be disappointed. (I voted before I got screencaps, or I’d show you right here)
Go #2!

do you think they could have picked 3 uglier plates?

Being that they are SOUTH Carolina and not God’s country bordering to the north and also simply because they let me…
I voted for the ugliest one.
What fun.

Haha, man those are some ugly license plates. I voted for the ugliest one out of the 3. I don’t live remotely close to South Carolina, and I thought it would be hilarious if they get stuck with the most ugly license plate design I have seen.

Please have some compassion for those of us who actually live in SC and will actually have to endure seeing this license plate every. single. day. for seven years.
I really do fear you people skewing the vote.
(I don’t dislike the blue and orange one. And I hope the text on the plate will be a bit thinner).

Sorry, Nate. I’m not backing up your vote because I like #1 better than 2. Here’s why (gosh why do I even care?):
- Because people will recognize it from afar easier (Hey, there goes a South Carolinian car!)
- Because it’s cleaner
- Because I dislike multicolor gradients. Alot.
- Because there was nothing better to choose from.

I lived in South Carolina for most of my life and might be moving back around the time this new plate gets approved. I’m not looking forward to having any of these pieces of crap on my car. What really disappoints me is that the SC flag is pretty damn cool. A solid carolina blue plate with the palmetto and moon as a flat graphic could have been killer. Instead they have to use gradients and waves and mountains. If I move back, I might see how long I can get away with keeping my Wisconsin plate.

I personally don’t like any of them. They all look like something that would be purchased from a Myrtle Beach gift shop…very cheap! Luckily I’m a cyclist and will keep my “Share the Road” license plate.

August 1 is closing in – can’t wait for this. I still don’t understand why we don’t all have sweet european flavored plates. Their plates are great, at least the German ones I’m thinking of. They don’t take up so much room. Wait shouldn’t cars be monitored by GPS shit now anyway. Shouldn’t the computer have eliminated the license plate a few years ago with all sorts of different tracking capabilities … embedded VIN #s, all that jazz.
Collectors edition moped plates represent.

I currently have a “diamondbacks” specialiy license plate—which was just issued in April 2007—-it has a snake in the middle, and mostly red and white—-I love it! and will not trade it—-I support my baseball team—-they are however, coming out with a “flat” license plate, so no numbers or letters are embossed—–

Doesn’t anyone know SC flag history. The cresent “moon” is not a cresent moon at all. The Cresent is a “Gorget.” For those who do not know – A gorget originally was a steel collar designed to protect the throat. It was a feature of older types of armour and intended to protect against swords and other non-projectile weapons. Later, particularly from the 18th century onwards, the gorget became primarily ornamental, serving only as a symbolic accessory on military uniforms.
Colonel George Washington wore a gorget as part of his uniform in the French and Indian War, which symbolized his commission as an officer in the Virginia Regiment.
When someone criticizes the design saying “the moon will never look like that” I have to smile knowing that they do not know any better.
