Screw it. Now that I'm a Manitoba student in Alberta, I'm taking off my front MB licence plate. What is MPI gonna do, arrest me?

^Yeah, pretty much, unfortunately.

Any Manitobans know if the province will be changing the Manitoba logo on the license plate? They recently re-designed the provinces logo.

Alberta needs a new provincial logo.

The current one screams 1970s, unless the province has made a decision to stay retro-cool and I am just unaware of it.

I like the slanted A in Alberta. It looks pretty cool to me. It is quite retro. Manitoba's is by far the worst.

In the US, you can't beat DC's plates:

you don't need a front plate in Quebec, either.

I kinda like the "impact" type font on our plates, but they're kinda 'ho hum'.

Manitoba's older plates (1983-1997) were the dullest plates available.

Most Canadian plates are very boring looking. We need something more colourful like a lot of the US states have IMO.

^ good Lord no... No kitsch and tackiness!!! Nein.

What we DO need is clean style and look. Those bloody Euros know what they're doing sometimes.

I like Baja California's.

Not too plain but not over done. It's nice.

do prisoners really make license plates?

... that mention of Euro plates reminded me... St. Pierre & Miquelon is almost Canadian:

Make your own state/provincial plates right here!

As for plates, I really like any European plate. Why can't we use the funky long ones?

SpongeG · #96 Posted **Jan 19, 2007, 5:14 AM**

i like some of the plates from South africa

BTTO · #97 Posted **Jan 20, 2007, 4:06 AM**

Quand est-ce que Québec a changé their plaques from "la belle province" to "je me souviens"?
personnellement je préfère la belle province.. paints a much nicer image..

vid · #98 Posted **Jan 20, 2007, 4:56 AM**

Yes, but the new one makes people say 'I'm a souvenir!' so keep it.

i think the opposite, they're very kitsch. remember, beauty is simplicity:

Ontario, Quebec, Mantioba's look kind of boring compared to the rest.
