O, by the way, changing the design was not the only reason for the change. Seems we have used up all the alpha-numeric combinations possible with the 6 character format. Took us 33 years to do so. TxDot needed to add a 7th character so they decided that it was also a good time for a design change as well. Personally, I'm glad...never cared for the tiny hodge-podge symbols on the current one.
As part of the 23 Things program that the SBISD Library Information Services Department is sponsoring, Players get to mess around with lots of image generators. One in particular is Image Chef that has a license plate (and yes, other states ARE available!) on which you can create messages. My "practice" plate for the 23 Things advertises the program.
Then I just played around a bit more to show you some other ideas for this fun Thing! Maybe the other states could be incorporated into the traditional states' reports we all have our kids do at some point?

I love the new one, too! Have you ever noticed that the horse on the current plate has 3 legs? My 5th grader pointed that out to me one day while washing the car. He didn't think that was a very smart rider to get on a three-legged horse.
They wouldn't have needed new numbers if they hadn't made me, and I presume others, change their plates after 10 years. Now I can't ever remember my license plate number!
