The new range of USPS stamps to launch for the new year is comprised of elements that are inspired by nostalgia, wild touches, and artwork. The new stamps are comprised of a wide range of tributes including a warm honor to beloved late actress Betty White. There is also bright pop art by Keith Haring and a whimsical series of baby wild animals.
The Forever stamp is detailed with White's charm to honor her career and passion for animal welfare. This is illustrated by Dale Stephanos and it is based on a photograph captured by Kwaku Alston. The art space is represented by the 2025 Love stamp with a 1985 untitled drawing by Keith Haring.
