Thanks for this information David. Especially the work of Hermann Zapf is wonderful.

David, it’s anyway a nice idea to create your own stamps. What’s the matter that you can upload a picture? That’s great, since you can make anything, then take a picture and then upload it. sadly, I don’t need american stamps:)

The US Postal Service lets you design customized postage (see here). Sadly, it only works with uploadable images. Even more sadly, when I attempted to upload an image, I was greeted with this: "We're sorry! The only browsers that Stamp Expressions currently support are Internet Explorer 5.0 and above." Your tax dollars at work.

I always admired Wim Crouwel’s stamps. Really is a dying art I would think. Are icons the digital equivalent in terms of size constraints? Either way, really cool stuff.

I have been wondering the name of a certain font for a loooong time now, and ironically enough I spotted it on Neville Brody's stamp page. The font is called FF Tyson. So THANKS for posting this!
