New $1 Stamp Is
Latest in Floral Geometry Collection
BURLINGAME, Calif., April 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Postal Service today issued
a new $1 Floral Geometry stamp, the
latest offering in the organization's Floral Geometry collection.
The $1 stamp joins similar
$2 and $5 stamps issued in 2022 and a $10 stamp issued in 2023.
Floral Geometry stamps lend an elegant and contemporary look to
packages, large envelopes and other mailings.
The stamp art features a series of overlapping geometric shapes
— such as circles, ovals and stars — that mimic the symmetry of
floral patterns found in nature. As the stamp denominations rise
($1 to $10), the designs become more complex. The blue
$1 stamp offers a simple,
sophisticated look.
The backgrounds for all the stamps were painted by hand and
scanned; the white geometric lines and typography were added
digitally. They were printed with a foil treatment that adds an
elegant glimmer to the design.
The stamps were designed and created by the firm Spaeth Hill.
Antonio Alcalá was the art director.
The $1 Floral Geometry stamp will
be issued in panes of 10.
