Stamps inspired by Otl Aicher

otlaicher.jpg

You may have seen these stamps bouncing around the web, but we wanted to bring attention to them here as well. A new project by artist and designer, Gavin Potenza, pays homage in the form of these pretty darn gorgeous stamps to Otl Aicher, one of the 20th Centuries great German designers. Aicher, a founding member of the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, is famous for his graphic work for the 1972 Munich Olympics, for creating the fonts Traffic and Rotis, for his book, The World As Design (Die Welt as Entwerf), and much much more.

uhm - that's the JD salinger rainbow there... not really an homage to Otl Aicher, but rather to the book designer that was working for Little, Brown and Company circa 1991...
