Philately Fridays: Germany, 1972

Two gorgeous stamps from the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. I really love the simplicity of the illustrations here. So much achieved with such a basic form vocabulary.

Philately Fridays: Cuba, 1967

Loving the subtle grooviness of this stamp from Cuba, commemorating their participation in the 5th Pan American Games. The distinctly Cuban color scheme and funky illustration style goes nicely with the clearly Canadian Games logo.
