the Characters
One of the cleverest things about personalized or unusual license plates is that the available characters themselves become part of the joke.
A carefully chosen combination of letters and numbers can resemble:
A word
A phrase
A name
A visual shape
A mathematical expression
A pop-culture reference
Or something that sounds completely different when read aloud
That’s why personalized plates can be so entertaining.
The owner isn’t just choosing an identification number.
They’re essentially working with a tiny canvas.
There’s only so much space, so every character matters.
