New Nebraska License Plate

I recently picked up my new license plates. The new design features the meadowlark and goldenrod. Here it is situated next to the outgoing design.

Of course, we almost got stuck with a different, dull looking plate. There was a state website where people could vote on the design of the new plate. A comedy website called collegehumor.com caught wind of site, and encouraged readers to vote for the most boring plate. The ploy worked, and the boring plate won in a landslide. But once Nebraska officials realized what had happened, they disqualified the prank votes and the goldenrod plate was declared the winner. Here's a picture of the boring plate that almost was. It's really not so bad.
