Keith Martin’s Olympic Stamps

January 14th, 2010 by maddie

Some of you may have already seen these linked on the GDMA Facebook page, but I thought that I would post it again. What’s the retweet equivalent for a blog? Reblog? RB? Anyways, these are the new 2010 commemorative Olympic stamps designed by Signals and the one and only Keith Martin. An excerpt from their blog reads

“For the commemorative stamps, our goal was to capture the emotions of fans and athletes alike,” Kosta explains. “Inspired by the Olympic spirit of ‘mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play,’ we wanted to reflect this spirit in the faces of young Canadians.

“Above all, we wanted to create iconic images of our collective experience of the Games. The iconic leaf and the colours immediately identify these as Canadian events. And the images of young people in toques and painted faces cheering on their favorite teams and athletes are quintessentially Canadian.”
