1985 "Green Mountain State" base:  This new design was the first with a screened state name and slogan and was made with two different die types.  Also unusual about this design is the large reflective white rectangle, from end to end of the plate, surrounding the plate number.  The green inside the rectangle is embossed and the plate number is debossed.  When the design first began, the plate had a large die type so that only five characters would fit on the plate.  Again, the plate number configurations changed as the design progressed, beginning with "0A000", then "000A0", "0AA00", and finally "00AA0".  In 1990, the state converted to a "AAA 000" format and used a smaller die type that could actually fit seven characters on the plate.  In April 2003, the state modified the stickers to include the plate number.  Similar to the passenger design, the truck class had a vertical stacked "TRK" preceding the plate number.

1990 "Green Mountain State" "AAA 000" base:  A continuation of the previous design, in 1990, the state converted to a "AAA 000" format and used a smaller die type that could actually fit seven characters on the plate.  In April 2003, the state modified the stickers to include the plate number.  Similar to the passenger design, the truck class had a vertical stacked "TRK" preceding the plate number.
