96 postal bulletin 22328 (1-12-12) Organization Information Stamp Announcement 12-16: Love Ribbons © 2011 USPS On February 14, 2012, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the Postal Service will issue a Love Ribbons special stamp (Forever ® priced at 45 cents), in one design in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 577200). The Love Ribbons stamp features a graphic design of pink-tinged, satin ribbons that spell out the word “Love” in a graceful, cursive script on a bright red background. Pieces of ribbon that appear to extend beyond the borders of the stamp broaden the reach of the design and its sentiment. This issuance is a continuation of the popular Love series introduced by the Postal Service in 1973. Illustrator Louise Fili designed the stamp under the direction of Derry Noyes. The stamp will go on sale nationwide February 14, 2012.
