    Nice, I like the Penguin one, because it's close to my heart. (I work in the US office.)

    @Rain-man: Jeez, you should go get that checked out. Whether you work there or not, I'm not sure having a stamp inside your body is a good idea long-term.

    @superbad: But look at the difference in overall presentation?


    How in the f**k could we manage to take the idea of an Eames stamp and turn it into something overworked, super-busy, and just overall tacky.


    The difference between the two sets is night and day.

    @92BuickLeSabre: Agreed, those Eames stamps about design were designed by non-designers.

    And it's not just the designs featured, but the design of the stamp. The colors, the placement, the font. I'm no philatelist, but I'd purchase and frame this set in a heartbeat.


    (Although, I must admit, as a much younger man I did also purchase the Elvis stamps and put them in a gold frame. My only non-practical stamp purchase. So, you know, I've got no complaints either way.)
