These could be posted here with images, in the hope that others could recognise them. Computer-originated pages, viewed by other members, and voted on. We should be absolutely delighted to welcome our first Cyberspace Group Member. It's hardly surprising that flags should feature so prominently and so often on stamps. Easily identifiable, highly symbolic, with vibrant colours, a flag can be the answer to a designer's prayers when searching for just the right illustration to represent a stamp's theme.
Few images can bring an idea to life so vividly and few symbols can convey a message so directly.
All of which has not been lost on postal administrations around the world. From Iceland in the North Atlantic to Nauru in the South Pacific, barely a month passes without further additions to an already long list of flags on stamps. The frequent appearances of flags on stamps is simply a reflection of their ubiquity in the wider world. On land and at sea, in the air and on the internet, on public transport, private cars, government buildings, company letterheads, in advertising and on television, flags are almost everywhere - they can even make the news. Whether reviled or revered, flags are clearly part of our modern landscape.
