Matt Warburton, a print and digital designer for UBC Communications and Marketing, is the architect behind two new Canada Post stamps commemorating Canadian motorcycles that were released June 5. The stamp project ties together three life-long passions that Warburton inherited from his father: stamps, design and motorcycles.
Every year many Canadians suggest motorcycles as a stamp theme to Canada Post. When the project got the green light, Warburton decided to feature two produced in Canada motorcycles on the stamps: the 1908 Canadian Cycle and Motor Company (CCM) and the 1914 Indian. The design is clean, simple and graphic — highlighting the simplicity of the bikes and focusing on the view as seen by a rider.
