dc.description.abstract A postage stamp symbolises a nation’s value, consisting of physical and symbolic dimensions. Physically, it encompasses the paper, design, inscriptions, ink, gum, perforation etc. Designing such a small yet democratic symbol holds immense significance as each line, shape, colour, and texture carries profound symbolic meanings. This fiscal device has only a three-second window to communicate between the user and the envelope it is affixed (Zsolt, 2012). Discussions on the ‘Science of Designing Stamps’ initiated in 2020 between the Department of Integrated Design, University of Moratuwa, and the Philatelic Bureau of Sri Lanka. These laid the groundwork as the Department spoke about the scientific nature of designing stamps and proposed thirty (stamp) sample designs and themes, emphasising that stamps are not just affixed prints but national symbols, landmarks of history and revenue generators completed for its users. In addition to this discussion a stamp design competition was launched in 2020, inviting Media and Communication Design undergraduates who were endangered in this conversation via their project; Graphic and Layout Design to partake. The winning design, created by Ms. Amaya Rodrigo, was launched to mark 2020.02.20, 20:20:20 stamp. Continuing in this vein, a stamp competition was initiated for the University’s 50th Commemorative stamp, calling upon present and past graduates to design an innovative stamp reflective of the institution’s journey towards excellence en_US
