Subject: |
Each design depicts a circle with a
grid of lines, representing the longitudinal and latitudinal
lines of a world globe, which refers to the global,
borderless characters of letter writing. Additionally,
designs A and C portray an envelop with a letter sticking
out, and a writing pen, which are put together to resemble a
bird, perhaps a carrier
pigeon, whilst designs B and D
depict an envelop stylized as the head of a writing pen |
