Bold new ISU license plate makes its debut

A bold new ISU Bengals logo appears on the redesigned Idaho motor-vehicle collegiate license plate for the university.

An ISU text logo replaces the familiar Bengal tiger’s face, which was indistinct from a distance. The plate provides alumni, employees and ISU supporters alike the opportunity to broadcast their pride in and support of Idaho State University.

Income from the collegiate plates also will help ISU fund scholarship aid for ISU students.

“Personalized plates provide a sense of unique identity for individuals while showing off our proud place in the ISU community,” says Alumni Relations Director Bill Kobus, who spearheaded the launch of the new design. “By purchasing the new ISU collegiate license plate you will not only be showing pride for the university, but will be contributing to scholarship funds to help our students.”

A numbered ISU collegiate plate costs $35 above the normal cost of license plates. A personalized plate costs $60 more.

The first year of registration with each new ISU collegiate plate will provide $25 for ISU scholarships. Each license renewal will generate $15.

Numbered plates can be obtained at DMV offices in Ada, Bannock and Bonneville counties. Other county DMV offices can order the plates from the Idaho Department of Transportation. Personalized plates can be ordered online at www.itd.idaho.gov/dmv.
