The two brand motifs »Dove« and »Angel« continue the series »Post« and literally give wings to the letters sent with them. Reasons to submit messages are as diverse today as they used to be. However, the modes of transport have changed dramatically. Today, Swiss Post is a modern "messenger" that delivers the messages to the recipient. And one thing is certain: A loving letter "With good wishes" is always well received. Angels: In many cultures, angels have been connecting humans with the divine in a mythological-religious way for many millennia. Already in Mesopotamia between Euphrates and Tigris in today's Iraq there was around 2500 BC. Pictorial representations of human-like figures with wings. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam angels are seen as messengers between God and men. They have a central role in countless ecclesiastical images. But angels are not just messengers - they are also help in times of need and a symbol of love, trust and protection.
