Kansas Governor's Office Responds to Public Outcry, Offers Five New License Plate Designs

A graphic designer's Kansas license plate design featuring iconic state images gained viral attention, but won't be utilized. The opportunity for Kansans to vote on new designs followed public backlash against a previously-released design that resembled New York's. The governor's office cited safety concerns, adaptability, and timeline constraints as reasons for not accepting constituent designs. The current designs incorporate feedback from citizens and adhere to law enforcement guidelines. The designer's design received widespread support and encompassed what most Kansans wanted.
