Do you remember when Gov Don Sundquist paid ($120,000?) to have the TN License Plates redesigned with what was basically his re-election campaign logo?
I’m with oleg. Any intern could have done this for free.
However, when the design for the state quarters was being done here in Texas, it became a damn political football that ended up being decided by some committee to relieve everyone else of responsibility.
Texas ended up with perhaps the most ugly, boring and lame designs of all the states on the back our quarter. One glance and your first thought is, “Designed by committee.” It was just sad.
Pull some change from your pocket. If you are lucky and can find a TN quarter, enjoy its design knowing that whatever TN paid to get that done, it was better than the hash TX made of ours.

I don’t recall this being a Venus-falling-into-the-Sun issue during the recent legislative session.
And what was wrong with the present logo?

That $46K is known as a “bribe by any other name”.

You have a state logo? That’s cute.
My state is a logo.

You laff at this episode of state ineptitude.

Hell, I need to land one of those gigs… I’ll spend most of a year on that for the price.
Any by spend most of the year, I’ll hold a meeting and then cost for 9 months.

We should have gone with “Andrew Jackson – Alien Slayer”.

Well, at least it codifies TN as a red state.

46 grand to rip off the logo from “Foreign Policy”?
That’s embarrassing.
