USPS 'Boldly Launches' ‘Star Trek™’ Stamps

The United States Postal Service (USPS) dedicated the new Star Trek Forever stamps, "nearly 50 years to the day" of Star Trek's original airing. The September 2 first-day-of-issue ceremony of the three-day celebration was "expected to draw thousands of Star Trek fans," according to the USPS press release.

The stamps are sold in sheets of 20 stamps, and have four digital illustrations inspired by the iconic show. These include:

"The Starship Enterprise inside the outline of a Starfleet insignia against a gold background;

"The silhouette of a crewman in a transporter against a red background;

"The silhouette of the Enterprise from above against a green background; and,

"The Enterprise inside the outline of the Vulcan salute (Spock’s iconic hand gesture) against a blue background."

The words "Space...the Final Frontier" appears at the bottom of the stamp sheet.
