License plate concept I made (EURO-STYLE!!!)

[Barclamïu da Miéletz]

Guess what I just made? EURO-STYLE LICENSE PLATES! Codes for provinces are the same (CEZ - Cézembre etc with Maritiimi-Maxhestic being MMX) as for the standard plates, with the difference being the format. It's now AA-0000-AAA. Example plate shown below.

I like the concepts. But why the CEZ? The TAL is good. You could do well to remove the CEZ from there.

The right side is for the province Emeka

Oh! I get it now. It's a good concept then!
Why didn't I think to this direction?

Here is my original concept: My license plate concept

I think I would mainly prefer this one to the other one with Red and Green..lol this looks more beautiful.
Is there a way we can have it to be the Tal on the Left , beneath it, it should have the province. all should be in the same blue column, you know evade copyright stuff. If not, we can leave it, i think this is very very okay. Nice design.

European plates work like this: on the left side, there is the country with either the EU flag if it's a EU member state, its country flag if it's in Europe but not in the EU (exception countries are Switzerland, Andorra, The Vatican, San Marino and Liechtenstein) or no flag at all if it's a transcontinental country (for example Türkiye)
The Euroband (the blue stripe) on the right side of the plate is optional; can be found in France and Italy (Albania as well iirc)
Iceland doesn't have the Euroband at all, it's their flag + the registration code "IS" on a white background. The Åland Islands territory also has license plates, but they are closer to American license plates.

Barclamiu, I think the one in this thread definitely looks better than the North American-style plate (the serial format on that one looked like it was Mexico-inspired, yes?)

Thought I'd toodle around with it briefly and came up with this:

Country code can basically be what we want; TAL, TL, TLS are all unassigned. TS was for Trieste, back in the postwar era.

This one uses a 120 x 440 mm design (Finnish dimensions) with the Finnish stamping dies on the numbers (mostly a modified DIN 1451 font, it looks like) on the numbers. The letters I mocked up myself.

Two-letter provincial identifier, three-number code with final letter potentially indicating either month of expiry or year of first registration (I'm really not into that system myself, the UK can keep it :P ). Or the letter could just be random, whatever!

I just randomly came up with the format. Maybe I could redesign it. Both the standard and the Euro-style one.

Or we could do it like Germany and introduce a province seal that would be the counterpart of the state seal, replace the area code with the canton code and introduce a safety inspection sticker (TÜV) and replace it with what I will think about.

(The safety inspection seal is a bit smaller than the state seal)
At the top of the state seal is the name of the state, in the middle its lesser coat of arms and at the bottom where the plate was validated ¹. The safety inspection seal works like this: the year of the next inspection is in the middle and whatever number is at the top you will have your safety inspection in that month. Colour depends on the year. On my mum's car the safety inspection seal is pink, as the number 25 in the middle and the number 8 is at the top which means our next safety inspection is in August of 2025. We could really do like Germany does it, but alter the format and change the font.
=======
¹ = you buy plates separately in a shop that's right next to the place where your plate will be validated (= Zulassungsstelle)

@Mic'haglh Autófil, SMC EiP I'm now home (since like 12:40), I can now get to work

When I look back at this design it's just so awful
