My new driver’s license arrived in the mail today. I didn’t know that the province decided to revamp their card to be more ’secure’ and everything. To me, it looks kinda ugly. I actually liked the colourful ones that most of my friends carry.

A lot of major ID pieces are being revamped. Cashiers LOVE the new stuff, as do retail managers. It’s much easier to catch phonies and frauds.
My favourite changes are the combination credit cards that include memberships, photos and signatures in PRINT so they don’t rub off the card (easily).
So what if it’s ugly? IT WORKS!
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not knocking the features at all. Security is an important issue, and I’m glad the province spent some money to make sure ID theft will be a challenge. It’s just that if they’re willing to spend so much money on a new scheme, why use a pastel colour scheme that (in my opinion) just doesn’t go well together?
