The stamp set focuses on people from all walks of life who make up Singapore. The ‘red dot’ concept which inspired the SG50 logo is the key design element which flows through each of the stamps. It represents the Singapore spirit that lives in the things we do, and behind how we do them. The stamp set is a reflection of Singapore’s optimism and confidence for the future.
