Good use of an old license plate. Could do with a paint job, but it gets the idea across.

Dude, waaayy cool. :D Gave you a 4.5! You know, if you change the name to something that makes people wonder about it, they will have a higher chance of clicking on it. I recommend changing this one to: "Upcycled Recycling Awareness Symbol" It catches your attention.
