PHLPost released a new set of four heart-shaped Valentine’s Day stamps to celebrate this romantic holiday and to promote universal love. The issue is titled “Valentine’s Day 2020 – The Love We Deserve”. These special stamps feature digital art using the popular character of the human heart bearing four types of love.
The four heart-shaped designs show the values important to contemporary society, focusing on current issues and are intended to touch on subjects the public – especially the youth – can both relate to and reflect about.
“We see the familiar symbol of love everywhere — from eating heart-shaped chocolates to sending text messages to a special someone with the iconic heart of the popular ’emoji’ or symbols,” says PHLPost referring to the symbols of love used in digital platforms such as the internet.
“It presents the idea that love transcends romance, taking on the many other definitions of love with an open mindset,” adds PHLPost.
Considered as one of the most awaited Philatelic releases, this year’s Valentine’s Day stamps were designed by PHLPost in-house graphic artist Irma Jane Junio, deviating from the usual romance theme but focused more on the universality of love.
