Swiss Post released two “Animal messengers” special stamps, the aim of which is to induce people of all ages to take the time to write personal greetings and send them by letter mail. The stamps show lively illustrations and speech bubbles, which you can fill in with a color you like. When attached to an envelope, these cute items show appreciation for the recipients.
The issue was illustrated by graphic artist Nina Binkert who used watercolors, drawing ink, and a variety of materials, to produce these lovely stamps.
The first item features an owl that is delivering mail sailing in a paper boat. The design of the stamp takes the theme of harnessing the power of nature into focus. As owl is a symbol of wisdom and poetry, the item also encourages a person to think about the content of a future letter carefully. The second stamp portrays a fox that is a sly animal full of energy. It is shown flying through outer space in his self-made rocket. The colourful design of a stamp serves as an original prompt for us to reflect on our existence and its possibilities and limits.
