Vote Here: BMV Unveils Three Designs For Next Indiana License Plate

One of three license plate designs Indiana residents can vote for.

Hoosiers have four weeks to help decide what the state’s next license plate will look like.

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles unveiled three options for the design that will replace the Bicentennial plate.

One features the torch and stars from the state flag placed inside a blue image of the state.

The second simply has a yellow banner highlighting the words “Crossroads of America” at the bottom of the plate.

The third is the most colorful, with a green landscape beneath a covered bridge painted red, and blue sky above.  

Hoosiers can vote at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles' website – www.in.gov/bmv.

“We really feel that this is a good way to get Hoosier participation in choosing the plate that they want on their vehicle,” says BMV Commissioner Kent Abernathy.

Voting ends September 5.  

Lieutenant Governor Eric Holcomb helped unveil the three finalists.

Standing next to the covered bridge design, Holcomb winked, and said he doesn’t have a preference, then added, “But I like…I like building bridges from the past to the future. I’ll let that speak for itself.”

Intellectual Technology Incorporated, a firm with operations in Fort Wayne that’s responsible for all Indiana license plate production, created the three designs.
