Award nomination. The Postal Service was nominated last month for a 2020 Licensing International Excellence Award, an annual program that honors companies and organizations that license their logos, brands and other intellectual property for commercial products.
This is the first time USPS has been nominated for a licensing award. The organization was nominated in the newcomer category for its efforts to license the postal logo on apparel and other merchandise.
Winners will be announced later this year.
