Stamp Celebrates 250 Years of American Promise | Sacramento News

The USPS just dropped a bold new stamp celebrating the Declaration of Independence — a minimalist, red-white-and-blue design with quill-shaped numbers spelling 1776, honoring the nation’s founding without showing the document or the Founding Fathers. Created by art director Greg Breeding and typographer Juan Carlos Pagan, it symbolizes America’s enduring mission to fulfill its promises. Released in Philadelphia at the B. Free Franklin Post Office — inside Independence National Historical Park — the stamp kicks off a bigger semiquincentennial celebration, including the burial of “America’s Time Capsule,” packed with contributions from all 50 states and territories, to be opened in 250 years. It’s also a nod to the Postal Service’s own history, dating back to Benjamin Franklin’s appointment as the first Postmaster General in 1775.
