Make it four times larger and six times more expensive than regular civilian license plates, with the overage going to Northrop Grumman.

Representative David Friess is an Air force veteran, seems very appropriate for Illinois to honor the USSF the newest branch of the Armed Forces.

Rich, now you’re just showin’ off.
I’d put a Jawa Transport with the state seal painted on it fir the plate… like an odd homage to the JRTC and public transportation…
- zatoichi - Tuesday, Jan 4, 22 @ 3:25 pm:
The complimentary license frame has to say “Ralph Spoilsport Motors” along the bottom.

Find a way to incorporate the Starfleet Delta which is already used as a symbol of our newest armed service. They could use a Federation starship but we haven’t advanced enough to build one.

They’ve copied Star Trek for the logo, and Battlestar Galatica for the uniforms, so let’s give them Star Wars.
“May the Space Force be with you.”

Maybe I don’t like the idea of the space force being a separate branch, but in the end it has a serious mission, and it deserves a serious plate design.
