I received this stamp three weeks ago. I think I wouldn't possibly find any better one to illustrate Sunday Stamps-II's theme: G.
It was issued in august 2006 to commemorate the founding of The Society of Graphic Designers of Canada. More information about the stamp.
Wow, this is a great stamp!
ReplyDeleteI love typography (and animals) so this graphic design is a delight for the (my) eyes!
And althought the animal depicted is a beaver, to me he/she looks like a Guinea piG :-)
I think it is!
DeleteBut, for me, it is still difficult to see the beaver... :|
Like Heleen, i graphic design and typography. Wonderful stamp choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phillip!
DeleteGorgeous, they make the stamps of the world a joy.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeletePerfect choice!
ReplyDeleteThough I still can't really see the 'unique interpretation of a beaver'!
Same here, concerning the beaver (?).
DeleteI see his back feet coming off the top part of the G and his front feet coming off what looks like a C.
DeleteMaybe... But still, I understand why they say that the interpretation is unique!
DeleteI think because one important detail is missing: the tail!
DeleteThat's why I thought it a guinea pig, but the background information keeps on telling it is a beaver. And beavers without the wellknown flat beaver tails are unique.

Er, or maybe they mean the 'foot' of the 'g' is depicting the beaver's tail, which makes it a very weird (thus unique) tail?
Deleteyeah, I thought the foot of the g must be the tail - but then I've never seen a beaver contort himself like this!
DeleteI see his back feet coming off the top part of the G and his front feet coming off what looks like a C.
DeleteYou see a lot of things here! I think it was easier with your ink blots, Phillip! :D
DeleteI'm just confused by the beaver but can only admire the graohic.
ReplyDeleteI agree it is a confusing beaver! :)
