Iowa motorists will begin getting new license plates next year, and it's likely there will be no shortage of folks offering free advice on what they should look like.
The current plates, introduced in 1997, are white, blue and gray. They feature a town and country theme with a farmstead and two silos silhouetted in white by a city skyline.
"Right now, there is a large variety of draft designs," said Andrea Henry, director of strategic communications for the Iowa Department of Transportation. "There is a variation of the city and country theme that we have right now. We also have a very Iowa-centric theme that plays on the Iowa flag in our drafts."
Many Iowans are well aware that license plates serve as mini-billboards to promote the state as motorists travel nationwide. That's resulted in some big arguments in the past among Iowans over license plate designs.

It won't affect me anytime soon, I'm paying the extra bit of money for school plates from the place I did my undergrad at.
