The State of Kansas has a new license plate following 270,000 votes. The license plate design features the Kansas Statehouse dome in the background and is on a yellow, white, and blue gradient background. It received over half of the votes. “It’s great to see Kansans’ passion for representing our great state,” Governor Laura Kelly said in a statement. “Now, we can move forward on a design that received majority support and get clearer, safer license plates on the streets as soon as possible.”The vote came after thousands of Kansans pushed back on a design released by the state. That design featured a wheat-yellow background color with black and midnight blue text, with some pointing out that it had colors similar to the University of Missouri. Only votes from Kansas zip codes counted, Kelly said. “So many of the designs circulated on social media and sent to my office are beautiful works of art but, unfortunately, cannot be used given the strict public safety, printing, and branding guidelines the new license plate has to meet,” Governor Kelly said. “Kansans will notice that license plates across the country are moving to simpler designs – that’s because of law enforcement and license plate reader requirements. Our number one priority with these license plates is safety.”
