SPRINGFIELD, Ill., July 29 (UPI) -- The Illinois secretary of state's office said it is researching the possibility of boosting revenue by putting corporate logos on license plates.

The officials said drivers would potentially receive registration discounts for choosing the corporate-branded plates.

The office's study is due Jan. 1.
