We're primarily into e-mail/telephone correspondence at PG, but when we send mail, we pay attention to our stamp selection. Back in the day, we'd designate the "boring" stamps for bills and paying landlords. Our current favorites are the Love: King and Queen of Hearts. They were designed for the Postal Service by Derry Noyes with illustration by Jeanne Greco. (Derry was the Art Director of the Eames Stamps that we also loved, while Jeanne designed lettering for Barbie as well as wine/food labels for Coppola's line.) We like this series for their muted palette and the smart repeat. According to a recent press release, "when the project was commissioned, [Jean asked] if she had to do a single stamp or if she could do a two-stamp design. 'After all, love takes two,' she reasoned."
