A new room symbol on the Europa series stamp
On April 25, Poczta Polska introduced a new philatelic value in circulation, presenting the symbol of peace. This value was selected in the Postheurop competition, i.e. the Association of Public European Postal Administration. The topic of emissions is "peace - the highest value of humanity". The graphics located on the stamp reflect the cooperating nations and will appear on the values of all postal operators.
The Europa series stamps are special stamps published by European postal administrations appearing since 1956 for years, postage stamps of this series have gained great interest. They express cooperation between postal operators and promote philatelic. Topics that appear in this series of stamps in subsequent years show common roots, culture, history and common goals of European nations. It also reflects this year's value. The symbol, which was in the graphics of stamps of all operators, refers to the motto "Peace - the highest value of humanity", constituting support for the fighting Ukraine.
This year's broadcast, on the Europa series stamp, has a sign of peace by Linda Bos and Rune Egilsdottir (A Designers Collective). The graphic of the value presents a visual metaphor of a combined, cooperating modern society. The designers were inspired by the Celtic node of love, i.e. intertwining with each other lines forming two heart connected. The design was used for the reference to national colors. The broadcast is accompanied by an FDC envelope and a date stamp developed by Jacek Konarzewski, constituting variations on the basic symbol.
