South Dakota’s license features Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills landscape in warm earth tones. A Mount Rushmore holographic overlay with the four presidential faces shifts under light. UV reveals a ring-necked pheasant – the state bird. Micro-text and ghost image provide security. We reproduce the monument detail with high-resolution holographic film and match the warm Badlands palette.
South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore design presents specific challenges in reproducing the presidential faces at small scale without losing definition. We use high-frequency stochastic screening at 200 lpi equivalent to maintain facial detail across all four figures. The Teslin card body provides the correct flex profile. Our holographic element features the state outline and ring-necked pheasant. UV artwork reveals the coyote state animal and pasque flower under blacklight in the positions specified by SD DPS.
