The letter prefix for the month of expiration was left off of these plates in favor of having a sticker attached to the bottom left hand corner that stated the month. This is the same design we currently have that features a red barn, a white sailboat in front of a setting sun, and two geese flying in the background. The very first graphic license plate didn't come out until 1986 and it was designed by David Hornung. This was done so that all license plates would be up to date and have any new formats and codes displayed correctly. This was so new holes didn't have to be drilled into the cars every year that the sizes changed.ġ979 was the very last time that all license plates in Wisconsin were reissued in one single year. The fixed size for all plates from that time on was to be six inches by twelve inches, with only slight variations to be allowed. Also, in 1957, the standard size for license plate for standard passanger vehicles was regulated and a fixed size was agreed upon for almost all of the US states and Canadian territories. Due to the large volume of plates that were needed, some plates had a letter code with two letters for their month of expiration rather than one. In the late 1960s, they also updated the letter prefix codes that coincided with the months the plates expired.
In the early 1960s, they also began to use adhesive stickers, instead of the small metal tabs, to update the year of registration on the license plates. There was now a letter prefix that was matched to each month. In the early 1950s, the format on the license plates for the month of expiration changed from a number code to a letter code.
