They’re not using the official logo, I wonder why that is.

I read from another blog that it is because Kosovo is not a member of PostEurop, so the stamps are not recognized on international level by PostEurop or UPU. Not sure if this is true, the blog didn’t list a source, but it would make sense I guess. They may still issue their stamps, but can’t enter the competition for the best Europa stamp.

I’m excited for the 2021Mystery Message USPS Stamp
Description from usps.com
The new Mystery Message stamp will put your sleuthing skills to the test. Featuring bright colors and interesting shapes, the stamp design is a visual riddle spelling out a message. Each colorful square contains a letter in an interesting pattern. The patterns, though seemingly random, were carefully placed so that when put all together, the message reads, “MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!” Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp.
