Sometimes we comment the stamp design on the stamps acquired by us. We want to feel good or contented to spend good money on good stamp design. One definitely feels bad and grumbles if the stamp design is not good, and it becomes worse if the denomination of the stamp is not low. Of course, different people have different opinions/tastes on stamp design. What is a good stamp design for one person is not neccessary good for the other persons. Well, beauty is always subjective.
Anyway, I particularly fancy the design of a Great Britain stamp set issued on June 23, 1998 to commemorate 50th Anniversary of National Health Service. The design inspires me alot in many ways. The design has the elements of simplicity, creativity and EMOTION. I feel warm by looking straight into the stamps - caring and love. Believe it or not, all these are acheived only by two hands! So, the morale of the story is you don't need complicated pictures/images to make a good stamp design...... hehehehehe
two hands forming a heart with the message "10,000 donors give blood everyday"
an adult hand clasping a child hand with the message "1,700,000 prescriptions dispensed everyday"
two hands form a cradle with the message "2,000 babies delivered every day"
taking pulse with the message "130,000 hospital outpatients seen everyday"
