Israel’s 77th Independence Day – Rare Collection of Independence Day Posters

Israeli Independence Day Posters – Design, History & National Identity

Since the founding of the State of Israel, Independence Day posters have served not only as official announcements of national celebrations but also as powerful visual expressions of the country’s values, milestones, and evolving identity.


🎨 The Visual Language of Independence

Over the decades, Israel’s Independence Day posters were designed by some of the country’s most prominent graphic artists, including David Tartakover, the Shamir Brothers, Shmuel Katz, Gila Goldstein, and others.
The designs featured iconic Zionist symbols such as the Menorah, the Star of David, the Israeli flag, the dove and olive branch, as well as imagery of the IDF, agriculture, innovation, and immigration.

Each decade reflects its own stylistic and ideological shifts—from the heroic, patriotic posters of the 1950s to the modernist and conceptual works of the 1970s.


🌍 Israel – The Only Nation with an Official Poster Every Year

Israel is the only country in the world to have produced an official national poster for every year of independence, beginning in 1949 (the first Independence Day) and continuing annually.

For many years, the design of the poster was selected through a nationwide competition among leading graphic designers, making each year’s poster not only a government communication but also a central expression of Israeli visual culture.
