mexico 1968 stamps


I love Olympic design and the identity for Mexico 1968 is one of my very favourites. Full of bold colour, typography and clean illustration – it is a pitch perfect voice for a host city and example of what made 1960′s design so fantastic. I particularly love many of the pictogram design pieces including this Official Stamp Collection by Lance Wyman. Simple, colourful and stylish sport imagery…

I’ve been collecting stamps (not as a ‘serious’ collector) since our local postmaster gave me some stamps when I was 7 or 8. There are so many great images. I use them often on my handmade cards and books. This set is really great. Wish I had them, but I don’t.
