London 2012 Olympic Games Gold Medal Stamps

| May 28, 2012

Origin of Cool are huge fans of art and design combined with sport and we’ve kept our eyes on the upcoming Olympics for great examples of this. Team GB have teamed up with Royal Mail to bring the British public a series of next-day stamps. The catch: they are only produced if a member of Team GB wins a gold medal during the London 2012 Olympics (from 27th July to 12thAugust)! Launched by former Team GB gold medal winner Sally Gunnell, the stamps will feature, wherever possible, photographs of the Team GB athlete or team in action from their gold medal winning effort. This will be the first time any host country has used action shots for Gold Medal stamps and issued them immediately, during the Games.
