Logos as postage stamps

If you’ve ever used a service from PhotoStamps.com you’ll know that one of the no-nos in that service was that you couldn’t create a perfectly legal  0.39 cents postage stamp with a company logo. (They also disallowed anything obscene, offensive, pornographic, libelous …even convicted criminals or politicians, celebrities etc.)

It was great for ‘vanity’ stamps of your family, or favorite photo. It was great for companies promoting some icon or idea. I had contacted PhotoStamps twice and they  first said no to a stamp-logo, but then when they said they printed it, the order never arrived. Perhaps it was their way of enforcing the rule. Hopefully that wrinkle will be removed.

There’s news that the Post office has approved the use of commeccial images for stamps. Zazzle.com is one company who does it. It’s $16.99 for a sheet of 20 stamps. You could get the many denominations apart from the 0.39 cent variety.
