Right you are. It was a "Nantucket" and a little line pointing to the county. Sorry.
It's ok. Here, I fixed it. How do you make these, anyway?

Thanks. Yeah, I found a pic of a europlate, copied the basic template unto PSD, and then derived the designs from OTL license plates in the US.

Oh, I was hoping it was some online program that I could use or something.
It's not that hard, I made those U.S.-plates by blanking that DC plate and then just putting text on top.

License plate images abound on the web! For example, I simply downloaded Washington D.C.'s license plate and photoshopped it to make the plate I posted back on page 2 of this thread [ https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showpost.php?p=1915121&postcount=27].
For the post above I used one of Detroitman's excellent designs as my template.
Are you using Clearview for the font? Because if it were used for actual license plates, the actual implementation would be a bit poor. This is why I like DIN 1451.
