commonwealth games

The Commonwealth Games are going on now in Glasgow and I found a couple of stamps with that theme.
In the 1970s, this style of pictogram was popular. I'm not particularly enamoured of these, to be honest










though, these pictograms from India are a slight improvement. they seem to show a little more fluidity




this mini sheet is perhaps my favourite - more pictograms, 
but also a map, a baton and a cute tiger!

    1. I agree - the 78 era stamps haven't stood the test of time.

  5. The Delhi stamps are more realistic but the baton relay takes the prize.
