Shire License Plates

I have been researching custom license plates and found a website ( Licenseplates.tv ) that can create custom full-color laser engraved plates with "state"-like embossed characters.  They said they can pretty much do anything that we envision.  Graphic specs are:

Quote.eps vector files or 300 dpi for a 6" x 12" area


I'm not much of a graphic visionary but I would really like to have a Shire license plate to replace my old Florida gang plate.

What would you like to see on your car?  How would you design your Shire tag?

After you guys throw out some idea, maybe Puke and I can come up with something.

Is "The Shire" the name of where we want to be?

Don't have PhotoShop at work or I'd put something together.

I'd say leave the "the" out. Plates don't say "The New Hampshire".
Just "Shire" would be good IMO.

Agreed.  Care to work something up?

Sure. I have plenty of free time this weekend.
Don't wait up for it though. No promises on a quick turnaround.

I think it sums it up best. It is an area ... and a certain kind of government ... and it is fun ... we could have a tree or leaf on the plate.

I was thinking something with trees on it.

Or with the original Gadsden:—



Although flat-color license plates aren't that common anymore, meaning it would stand out and be a target for police. And the Gadsden yellow–orange makes me think of New York's old license plates.

Maybe something to match Puke's Shire driving license design?

Must the plate have Snow on it? :(

Maybe it should be entirely white, so it blends in. Note the poor attempt at camouflage on this plate, for example:—

Looks nice.  Perhaps since trees are popular, there should be two versions.  Also, instead of an expiration date perhaps the infinity symbol would be good?
