Gentian

The “Gentian” design was created as part of the Swiss Digital Days in autumn 2022. Visitors to the digitalswitzerland Swiss tour had the opportunity to choose a term from each of the categories “Switzerland” and “digitization” as well as an art style. Based on these choices, the software Midjourney used artificial intelligence to create around 2,500 unique artworks. A selection of these was used by Swiss Post for the Swiss Crypto Stamp 3.0.

The 13 special editions are each dedicated to a Swiss theme. “Gentian” was one of the terms in the “Switzerland” category that participants were able to choose at the terminal. Gentian is a flower that grows in the high mountains of the Alps and is known for its bright blue flowers. Gentian symbolizes alpine identity and the traditions and customs of the mountain regions.
