On January 12, 2024, in Romance, AR, the United States Postal Service® will issue the Love 2024 stamp (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 581100). This stamp will go on sale nationwide January 12, 2024, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue.
The new Love 2024 stamp is a reminder that the sentiments we send are larger than the letters and cards that convey them. The stamp features a stylized white bird made of four geometric shapes shown against a rich red background. Facing the upper right corner of the stamp, the bird carries in its beak a pink envelope sealed with a red heart. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed this stamp with a digital illustration by Katie Kirk.
