    The USPS on Aug. 21 released a new "Thank You" stamp designed by UNT College of Visual Arts and Design alumna Dana Tanamachi ('07). The stamps, which come in four different colors, feature the words "thank you" in gold lettering that sprouts into floral accents. Tanamachi told the Houston Chronicle she was inspired by classic book covers and bookplates from the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements, as well as by typeface designer Doyald Young and textile artist William Morris, who was known for his florals.
