1996 farm scene graphic:  This design began in 1996 ("97" expiration sticker) and features the popular farm scene with barns and silos superimposed over a white city skyline.  When this design first started, the plate number was embossed and the county name appeared on a sticker placed at the bottom of the plate.  Later, the plate number was still embossed, but the county name was screened at the bottom of the plate.  In 2002 ("2003" expiration sticker), the state began producing the plates in flat format.  At some point, the passenger flat plates went from having an indent around the perimeter of the plate to a completely flat plate using a lighter, thinner aluminum, but the flat motorcycle plates were always completely flat.  On all types, the yearly sticker includes the county number from the old county coding system used through 1978 (see "county codes" page) and needs to match the county indicated on the plate.
