Here's What Florida's New License Plate Will Look Like

In a state of 19.1 million people, only about 50,000 bothered to vote in the online contest to pick the next design of Florida's default license plate. Probably because all of them were pretty bland and boring. Anyway, we now have a winner and it might have been our favorite...

In a state of 19.1 million people, only about 50,000 bothered to vote in the online contest to pick the next design of Florida's default license plate.

The new design will start making its way onto the roadways in 2014.

Personally, we liked our suggestions better.
