post Logos and Brands

Envelopes, mail horns, and route arrows have served as the basic visual vocabulary for shipping brands for decades. The “Post” section brings together the logos of postal services and delivery operators whose emblems are centered on communication between sender and recipient. Among the symbols presented are both those of state postal monopolies with centuries of history and the emblems of a new generation of commercial carriers. The postal service, as an institution, has existed for centuries, and its visual attributes have become among the most enduring symbols in the world, from medieval messengers with hunting horns to modern courier giants reinterpreting the legacy of state correspondence in terms of speed and global coverage.
