3 stamp analysis

Alrighty, let's start analyzing my three favorite stamps...

1) The anime girl stamp: This is a more horizontal stamp, with a green border along the bottom, as well as what appears to be film in the background. It's weighed nicely, because even though the character is more to the right of the design, it's balanced out by the transparent film design in the back, as well as the random typographic elements. The dotted border around the whole thing is rather thick, and the random color inclusions enrich the entire thing. It's quite energetic and lively.

2) The Atari Jungle Hunt Stamp (top right): This is a very dark stamp in general, but with a lot of brightly colored elements inside. It's meant to purely represent an illustration of what the actual game looks like, but it's actually quite intricate. The border around the game resembles a TV screen, and the dark pink letters in the black surrounding it are the exact same font as the font found on Atari cartridges. It's quite colorful and eye catching, though it only serves one purpose: to remind you of playing an Atari game in the dark of night.

3) The arrow stamp: I have no idea what this stamp is about, but I love it. It's definitely a modernistic design, and the highlighter color scheme on top of the neutral blue background makes both the arrows and the font stand out completely. There is nothing ambiguous about this design. It's fun, lively, and exciting. It flows nicely, and it's just plain fun to look at... were I to get a letter with this stamp on it, it would most certainly catch my attention.
