Common Design Elements
- The ITU Emblem: The official logo, which symbolized the speed of communications (equal to lightning) and global connectivity, was the focal point of many stamps.
- Technological Progression: Several countries contrasted historic 1865 telecommunication methods (such as telegraph poles and cables) with modern 1965 graphics (like satellites, radio waves, and antennas).
- Royal Silhouette: Commonwealth nations typically used a standard two-stamp format that included the ITU emblem alongside a silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II.
