Zürich postage stamp
Swiss Post invited Jane Gebel and Michael Lüthi of Orkan to design a stamp for the canton of Zurich, to be included in a special sheet.
The Zurich stamp shows a digitally networked world. Thematically chosen because the canton of Zurich has the largest education locations and the most start-ups in Switzerland. The canton of Zurich is therefore strongly networked: within the canton, with Switzerland and the world. The QR code is a symbol for the global density of information and provides the transfer from the analogue to the digital world.
The special sheet “My canton – our Switzerland” with 27 stamps shows the diversity of Switzerland. It has one stamp for each of the 26 cantons, plus one showing of the Haus der Kantone, all designed by different designers.
On 24 March, the stamp designs were projected onto the facade of the Federal Palace of Switzerland in Bern.
