Favorite and least favorite state license plates
Who likes the license plate game? Guessing where a plate is from, that is. I do! Some state plates are very attractive while others I find very dreary.
Favorite:
1. Oklahoma - I was stunned how beautiful it is
2. Arizona - Very characterful, always know where they are from
3. South Carolina - Very peaceful looking
4. Wyoming - Wow!
5. Colorado - Are they still embossed like that? Otherwise, simple and attractive.
Least favorite:
1. Pennsylvania - Not much excitment
2. Virgina - Meh
3. Wisconsin - Legible but stolid
4. California and Louisana - Looks the same as each other
5. Ohio - I can hardly even recognize the letters Ohio so I never know where it is from
This should be fun, and no offense intended. Respect for all states. I would add Minnesota (since I am so sick of looking at it ) to my list of least favorites but I wanted to keep it to 5.
What are your favorite state license plates?

These are better looking than anything NJ has to offer.

I like the old Texas plate better than the change a few years ago and probably more than the newest. It had everything that defined Texas in a simple design and embossed characters. The middle one is ugly as shit.

Newer:
Newest:
And then, the vanity plate list is pretty stout.

I've got those. They especially look good on the blue S2000 and blue CR-Z.

Love the new Ohio plates coming in April:
Absolutely despise the current Ohio plates:
Like my Ohio Bicentennial classic plates best:
I also love the DC plates. Taxation without representation is NOT cool.
Love the black Tejas plates, those are simple yet elegant.
Whoever thought up those ugly-ass current New York plates should have their eyes burned out. Those are fugly.

Same blue lettering on white background for decades now. Some vanity plates are available with a logo to the left, but that's about as exciting as it gets:

Delaware Black and White Porcelain Tags are extremely hard to get, and the low digit ones sell for $100K+. The State also issues Stainless Steel Black and White Tags, but the porcelain ones are the one to get if you can.
