A really nice set of stamps designed by Gavin Potenza, ‘Homage to the stamp’ inspired by Otl Aicher. These stamps not only look fantastic but really encapsulate what Aicher was all about. Aicher is a big inspiration for me – probably most famous for his work on the 1972 Munich olympics or Rotis Sans (depending on your background). Apart from Aichers obvious love for colour & fantastic attention to detail he was one of the first designers to really bring focus to infographics and data visualization, now another love of mine (must remember to post about it soon!).

I think this is a great tribute to a fantastic designer, make sure you check out Potenzas website, Exploratory Design & take a look at The 1972 Muich Design Report – A really good flickr group featuring lots of Aichers graphic design work. Also worth a punt is his Linotype Profile – for samples of Rotis (sans/semi & serif) and a short Bio.
