Declaration of Independence (U.S. 2026)

From the USPS on October 29, 2025:

As the nation marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Postal Service pays tribute to the document that gave voice to America’s founding ideals. Designed and created by Juan Carlos Pagan, the stamp art features a typographic treatment of “1776,” the year the declaration was adopted. Each numeral takes the shape of a feather quill pen, a nod to the instruments used to sign the nation’s founding document. Pagan worked under the direction of Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS.

More details will be posted below the line, with the most recent information at the top.

  1. Not at all impressed with the design.

    The feather motif is so strong that the first time I saw it I thought the stamp was aviary in nature.

    You actually have to see beyond the motif in order to make out the year.

    I think the 250th anniversary of of the Declaration of Independence deserves a lot better design.
