The United States Postal Service (USPS) is issuing the Bruce Lee commemorative postage stamp. This release serves to honor the late martial artist and film star. It is sure to capture the attention of fans of the icon.
USPS positions the Bruce Lee commemorative postage stamp as a Forever stamp. Its design features original artwork depicting Lee performing a dynamic flying kick, rendered in black and white against a vivid yellow brushstroke background that references his iconic cinematic costume. The stamp’s design integrates typography that appears fragmented by the action of the kick.
A dedicated first-day-of-issue ceremony for this stamp is scheduled to occur in Seattle, Washington, with attendance open to the public and promoted through the designated #BruceLeeStamp hashtag.
