on 12 august 2011, a new version of the eid stamp, a forever stamp for first-class mail, was issued. with a red background, its calligraphy (i.e., text) is distinctly different from the 2001 stamp with a blue background. on the forever stamp, the text in the upper left corner is "2011 usa", and text in the upper right, running vertically, reads "forever." text running across bottom reads "eid greetings."
