The new license plate design picked by voters at this year’s Iowa State Fair will start showing up in a handful of counties in the next few weeks. Iowa Department of Transportation spokesperson, Andrea Henry, says the new plates went into production this week and will go out to the counties which need a new supply.

The plates will feature the new design — which is a reboot of the old plates — and will be made of a new material.

Henry says license plates are replaced for each vehicle very ten years.

The selection of the new plate design created some controversy in the state. The D-O-T created the design in house to save money and the three final designs were criticized as unimaginative, which prompted the D-O-T designer to speak up.
