FREE: 4 New Forever "NEON CELEBRATE!" STAMPS

The listing, 4 New Forever "NEON CELEBRATE!" STAMPS has ended.

A commemorative stamp bursting with color, the neon lights in this stamp image are reminiscent of a fireworks display on a hot summer evening. The Neon Celebrate! (Forever®) commemorative stamp is available as a Strip of 4 stamps, a Block of 10 stamps, or a Sheet of 20 stamps.

On March 25, 2011 in Cleveland, Ohio, the Postal Service™ issued a "Neon Celebrate!" special stamp (Forever® priced at 44-cents), in one design in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) sheet of 20 stamps. The stamp was designed by Phil Jordan of Falls Church, Virginia.

Inspired by a visit to the Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles, Art Director Phil Jordan began to think about the possibility of using neon to depict a stamp subject. He decided that a Neon Celebrate! stamp, with its imagery of vivid colors, fit the bill. Working with neon artist Michael Flechtner of Van Nuys, California, they developed an exciting and vibrant stamp reminiscent of a fireworks display on a summer evening. Brilliantly colored images of swirls, circles and dashes in pink, blue, orange, yellow and green seem to erupt from the ground to illuminate the darkness. Each letter of the word Celebrate and the exclamation point that is part of this stamp's official title, are highlighted in bright white light. The 2011 "Neon Celebrate!" stamp is the first U.S. Postal Service® project for Flechtner.
