"Borders have become a high security zone, with agents and staff presenting an aggressive, uninviting stance and attitude. This reimagining of the humble passport stamp reestablishes the joy and discovery of travel, transforming the unpleasant reality into a welcoming gesture towards the visitor, and reflecting the generous values that our countries truly represent. This is a perfect example of how design can remind us of our shared humanity" Donald Copps

Are there any closeups of this? Can’t really make out what these are about…

This is lovely, positive messaging. In a time of so much disaster and paranoia in the world, we could all use a little warmth.
Very nice idea.

Nice!
Now if we could just get the Feds to stop using Arial, and get the Passport Office to stop using Comic Sans on mailing labels, I think we would be set.

sweet thought, but as if this would ever happen.
