Here are three that are OK. I liked the ideas - but they were one-timers. I wonder how long the USPS is going to use the love bird cancel? I wonder if they ever post cancels. I like a good cancel but not enough to do a deep dive in how often the come up with new ones - who designs them - etc. Or maybe I am curious. This post is popping up on the 7th and I get home from Chicago on the 5th - so maybe I don't need to be pushing myself to fill up posts.
OK - I was curious enough to go look - and it's a whole *thing* so I guess you'll have to put up with me talking about it. In answer to the question, who designs the cancels - there are some that are just functional or mechanical - the wavy lines. Then - there are these:
- Art Directors and Stamp Designers: For specialized cancellations like First-Day-of-Issue, the design is often handled by the same professional art directors and artists who created the corresponding stamp.
I loved the bird commentary on my mutant bird envelope from you. Have you ever played Wingspan? Great game!
