The OMAS Signs for Children series is a very limited line designed to benefit Unicef. On October 14, 1996 Christies of London auctioned off the 24 "one of a kind " pieces in Rome, Italy. Following the auction, the 24 pens were produced as limited edition in silver and solid gold. In keeping with the generosity and support for which UNICEF is so well known, a portion of the proceeds were put forth to assist with their most financially demanding programs.

This collection, comprises of 24 pens, is born from a most unusual and enthusiastic collaboration. Famous names have been conveyed by means of their drawing. A personal message. Some were simple and some were rather elaborate yet all were imbued with the artist's personality. Respecting each one's individual style, as is the nature of Omas. Omas have transcribed the essence of these drawing onto the bodies of each model within the constraints of material limitation and construction requirements.
