In 2021 NZ Post brought CourierPost, Pace and Rural Post under the single banner of NZ Post, with a new logo and refreshed visual identity. The new NZ Post logo is a symbol consisting of a circle, intersected by two parallel lines to form a unique stylised ‘P’, evocative of roads, tracks, and networks. The new deep blue, partnered with the historical red amplify in concert to create something familiar, yet distinctive. NZ Post has spent 15 million dollars on the rebrand, which many criticize.
In these six collectable stamps, released to celebrate the new visual identity, the designers have reinterpreted the new NZ Post logo’s forms and colours to create a series that represents connection, movement and energy.

It's almost two years to the day of this post - the last I can see in this blog. What's happened to Alan & co. ? Are you guys still around? Keen to connect if you are and find out what's happening to these pages. Cheers! Neilmac
ReplyDeleteHello Neilmac,
DeleteThank you for your comment. I apologise for the late reply, I am quite inactive now.
My name is Arie, I am the new site owner (been new owner for two year). Alan and the others have now "abandoned" this blog, as they have other interests in other blogs.
I made the hard decision to not anymore posts on general new issues, as all of that information can be found on NZ Post's website. I am more focused on maintaining/archiving what has been posted so far.
Regards,
Arie

ReplyDeleteThanks Arie. Are you interested in passing on/selling the blog? I am an avid collector and enthusiast and I was going to start my own NZ stamp blog, but if you're interested in letting me take over this one, it beats me starting from scratch. Please email me neilmcgregor63@gmail.com Thanks!
