I checked my Iowa license. It only says Iowa a few times across the middle and then again from upper left
to lower right. Oh, and two stars in the lower right hand corner. I wonder what the stars may mean. If I find
my old Indiana state ID I'll have to check that one out also.
Other then that, all the credit and debit cards have the logos.

(now I just need to figure out why exactly do I have a UV lamp in my house...)

===============================

When I put my Minnesota license under a UV light, it has the state seal centered on and increased to the
full height of the card. Without the UV light, it has some pretty cool security measures also, such as
holograms of a loon, the state bird.

=====================

Update, I checked the Indiana ID and it has the Indiana torch logo all over it (the one from the state flag). I
checked my passport and it has small hexagon patterns on the inside cover page and all the other pages
glow down the center.

===============

In WA, you see several Washington State seals with a UV light.
