The U.S. Postal Service has issued a new set of Star Trek stamps for 2016, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the popular science fiction franchise.
The stamps depict classic images from the series with a crew member who appears to be covered in stars using the transporter, Spock’s Vulcan salute with the Starship Enterprise and a planet designed into the palm, the Enterprise with the image of an exotic world in the center, and the Starfleet insignia with the Enterprise flying through it. The backgrounds are yellow, blue, red, and green – the colors of Starfleet uniforms.
They were designed by Heads of State design firm with art direction by Antonio Alcalá.
The four new Forever stamps will cost 49¢ in the U.S. and about £.33 in the U.K.
Star Trek debuted on television in 1966, the creation of writer Gene Roddenberry. Though the original series only ran for three seasons, it developed a passionate following and spanned six TV series, 12 films, and a host of novels, video games, and comics.
