About Summer Olympic Games - Rio

Stamp of 100 cents – Synchronized swimming
The water wave in the middle allows the reflection of the pool water in abstract colors and the six persons are the synchronized swimmers in an elegant form.

Stamp of 130 cents – Swimming
The color in the background of the swimming pool and the splash of water are more transparent than the seawater depicted on the 220 cents navigation stamp (sailing). The swimmer in green represents the green ring.

Stamp of 220 cents – Sailing
The color in the background reminds us of the sea around our island Aruba. The pastel colors of the five rings are reflected in the different boats.

Stamp of 500 cents – Flame in the Olympic Cauldron
This design illustrates all the five Olympic rings. The picture in the middle suggests the abstract version of the flame on an Olympic cauldron instead of the flame in the well-known traditional version.
