Hey man whatever turns you on but that “Royalty” stuff over there is some strange business. Glad we have none of that here.
I asked Chat GPT to explain the concept of the new emblem in Jony’s word:
“At its core, royalty is about grandeur and luxury that's both timeless and modern. The concept of royalty is both distinguished and highly refined, blending classic design elements with contemporary style. Whether it's a stately palace, a magnificent crown, or a luxurious suite of jewelry, it is a symbol of status, power, and sophistication.
With his dignified and regal bearing, King Charles brings a sense of style, grace and class to monarchy. His wardrobe is full of classic garments, each one designed to convey a message of timeless elegance and sophistication. From the regal splendor of a royal wedding to the timeless elegance of a royal coat of arms, royalty has a unique power to captivate and inspire.”

I don't care about the coronation, but I actually think that emblem was beautiful!

Will Henry and Rachel be at the Coronation?
So..... what you're saying is he didn't design it.
Kind of like how pop stars think they're artists when really it's been Max Martin doing all the work.
Ha.
Put more flowers and trees instead of swords and shields.
Might as well add a rainbow
All hail to the Queen. Whoops

It looks rather lively, playful - which somehow reflects Charles' image in the public eye.
Not too shabby.

Without looking, and just from memory, this looks very similar to a box for a deck of playing cards

Coronation of King Charles III? I hoped the whole corona topic is finally through.
So everything that has "EiiR" on it now gets changed to what?
And for the Royal haters:

They make a lot more for the country than what they cost.
What an honor for Ive! Good on him! It's a beautiful design.
As an aside, and expected, this story has spawned the typical race-to-the-bottom inane juvenile comments.

Silver lining...your expectations have been met!!!
Yeah… Not sure how/why you go from designing something as intricate/complex/exciting as an iPhone to logo design. Usually it’s the other way around. If you’re lucky. But I guess when your Ive, you‘ve earned the luxury to do whatever the F you want. Logo it is.
Edit: Add to this it's a pretty prestigious client, no matter what side of the fence you fall. I'm sure it was worth the effort. Though it does same me wonder who Ive directed on this design. I just can't see him pushing pixels. I could be wrong.

It's supposed to be dignified, not exciting.
I, for one, am gratified my sophomoric comments aptly lodged themselves under your skin.
From typography to iconography to color palette, it’s seems very fitting of the client/scenario. Approved.
