Aside from the upcoming commemorative stamp, his posthumous honors so far include a Disney Legend Award, given last August, and an induction into the Bay Area Council Business Hall of Fame, carried out last November. In addition to Jobs, the USPS' 2015 collectible series includes stamps paying tribute to a few other icons: Hollywood actress Ingrid Bergman, funk music founding father James Brown, "The Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson, "the King of Rock and Roll" Elvis Presley, and African American architect Robert Robinson Taylor.
