Right now, the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles issues license plates with more than 40 distinct designs. There are plates with the National Rifle Association’s logo, pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness, various military insignias and the Freemasons’ compass and square. There’s even one specifically for the remaining survivors of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. These plates tend to originate with special interests or nonprofits.
