British stuff: Stamps commemorate Iconic British Designs.

While the idea of having stamps commemorate iconic pieces of design is nothing new, the ones for iconic British designs are just pure class.
Sidenote: After looking at these, I find it a bummer that they are redesigning the buses. Those originals are so great...why mess with perfection? It is odd being a product designer when faced with a challenge like this. The fact is, with the cost of labor, new manufacturing technologies, and new trends, the newer buses will lack the character the old ones have. They will be all ID'ed up and be corny for sure. I don't condone this type of design. If it ain't broke, and you can't make it better, leave it alone.

About Me

My photo
John Burnham Dixon
I just finished school for Industrial Design at DAAP. I want to design furniture for a living. I am related to Buckskin Frank, who was an outlaw in the West back in the day and was considered one of the greatest shots of his time. I do tricks on a bicycle that is too small for me when I am in good health. I like making stuff.
