As the type of person that has license plates from various places hung up on my wall, I think this is a very cool endeavor, and I’m very excited to see where you go with this. Some of these are huge improvements over the existing plate designs. That being said, at least for the states I’ve lived in:
1. The proposed design for Michigan is much busier than the current default plate, and more importantly is focused on the “wrong” (IMO) thing. The auto industry isn’t as timeless and representative of the state as a license plate should be. Specifically, in the current era in particular, the historical dependence on the industry feels like more of a sore spot to many people, and the existing plate’s focus on nature provides a welcome change from that. Furthermore, the auto industry further excludes the the half of the state that’s outside the metro-Detroit region from the state consciousness, as the auto industry isn’t generally very prominent there.
2. As someone else noted, I’m not sure how the existing numbering scheme would fit on California’s plates. I like the clean and cool design, however, and think this poses a nice change that can definitely inspire a better alternative to the mundane field of white we currently have.
