Background:

The stamp artwork features a black-and-white painting of Lee executing his famous flying kick set against a yellow calligraphic brushstroke on a white background. The brushstroke is a reference to Lee’s iconic yellow tracksuit in the film “The Game of Death,” which was completed and released years after his death.

On the right side of the stamp, “BRUCE LEE” and “USA FOREVER” are printed vertically and angled to appear as if Lee’s kick were breaking them in half. The stamp was designed using artist Kam Mak’s egg tempera painting on traditional gesso.
