Anyone Have Info On This Potential Upcoming Stamp?

Hi, I'm a long term reader, first time poster so I apologize if this isn't the right place to put this.

I was on the graphic design/logo website Brand New reading about the rebranding of the Wildlife Conservation Society when I saw this picture of "prototype stamps" with their new logo and slogan.



Do you guys think this is just the wishful thinking of some graphic designer or is this an accidental release of a stamp in the works?

Here's the link to the entire article.

Welcome to the board. While I don't know anything for certain, it looks to me like these are labels (like Christmas Seals, etc) rather than government-issued postage stamps. My guess is that they're something they send out with a fundraising mailer that people can put on their mail to show they support the organization. It's pretty unlikely the USPS would honor a specific organization like that - they generally honor events or "movements" rather than specific groups, organizations or corporations, etc.

Edited to add that while I do see the "Forever USA" in small print, indicating that it would be a postage stamp, I still think it's a design for a label as I mentioned earlier, or just wishful thinking. Maybe the logo designer is a stamp collector.

I just got my latest issue of APS magazine and this wasn't included in the first batch of issues for 2016.

Wishful thinking.

But let me ask this, for those who follow how the CSAC works. How likely is it that a stamp would be issued for a specific environmental group. as opposed to environmental topics or issues? This is a logo for a specific group. Unless it were to honor a person of note (and deceased) associated with a specific group, I wouldn't think it likely that specific groups get honored on stamps.

If so, I want my NRA stamp! (Not enough that Charleston Heston got his stamp. They left out his holding up a rifle in defiance of gun control.) /sarc off

The article you cited at http://www.underconsideration.com/b....Vje6SPmrTIU is explicitly a discussion about a new logo, published in a magazine that discusses new logos.

The caption "Prototype stamps" might mean little more than "this is what your logo would look like if anybody ever used it as the central design element in a postage stamp", but the caption does not read "proposed stamps".

Regarding specific groups, it was once common for nations to recognize the Boy and Girl Scouts, the Rotary and Lions Clubs, Red Cross, &c. I wonder how much of that is done nowadays.

Zero chance.
