New Hampshire's license plates are recognizable for the legible state motto: Live Free Or Die. New York state has a Latin motto, one short word, Excelsior, meaning "ever upward." Beginning in June 2020 new New York state license plates for the first time in state history bear the Latin motto.
While it is wonderful the Latin motto is now on the license plates, this resident wonders about the color choice. The Latin word is golden (as are most things expressed in Latin), but the color is not easy to read. Maybe a future edition of the NY state license plate will be bolder--EXCELSIOR!
