Almost time for another fortnight of slack-jawed nonce-worship!

Honestly this is quite good and considering His Majesty's penchant for minimalism, quite appropriate
Not surprised at all the junk in this thread, but I am surprised no one pointed out the symbolism in Ive’s design. Each country in the UK is represented by a flower: rose for England, shamrock for Northern Ireland, thistle for Scotland, daffodil for Wales. I think it’s a nice incorporation of these symbols into a unifying logo.
And, as to also be expected, a comment from someone who could have chosen to ignore the comments found to be "juvenile" but chose not to....
Lol. Ive talk out of his ass so much. For the amount he was paid for this, you'd expect better.
You are the real hero! I always thought designing with symmetry is great way to cut your work in half.
Can't have that! They're better than everyone else, don't you see? LOL.
Nah we have stuff too but absolutely nothing that compares to that nonsense…crowns, scepters, (scepters lol!) carriages etc it’s the ultimate dress up. Btw Amazon sells a wide variety of scepters.
His Majesty….I’m sorry but that’s just super funny.
Former Apple design chief Sir Jony Ive's latest project, the official emblem of the coronation of King Charles III, has been unveiled by Buckingham Palace.
The image depicts flowers forming the shape of St. Edward's crown, which will be used during the coronation. Ive chose roses, thistles, daffodils, and shamrocks because they are icons from across the United Kingdom. He attempted to convey the "optimism of spring" and the King's love of nature.
Ive was Apple's chief design officer from 1997 until 2019, when he departed to found LoveFrom with fellow Apple designer Marc Newson. In 2021, LoveFrom designed the "Terra Carta Seal," a special award for King Charles, who served as Prince of Wales at the time, to bestow upon companies that are leaders in creating sustainable markets.
When Ive left Apple, Apple signed a multiyear contract with him that was valued at more than $100 million. Under the terms, Apple was LoveFrom's primary client, but the deal came to an end last year. Ive has said that his design process at LoveFrom is the same as it was at Apple.
Ive's logo is set to be used for events over the coronation long weekend in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in May.

huh...

All-righty then.

Seems British enough. It's fine. Question is, will Charles live that long?
That is absolutely hilarious. In design school, I remember my professors opening up our vectors in class and ripping us for mistakes like this, lol.

The UK royals are scrutinised, you only need to read the uk press to see that
Apparently the royal family is worth $24B in terms of tourism, other economic benefits and soft diplomacy (source Forbes)
I’d take that
Since he’s a minimalist are hats now optional at the coronation? How about the horses? Do they get a break? Give the horses the day off and have him come in on a Segway. He could be down the street in no time.
Right, there is nothing minimalist about British royalty. Everything is over the top with them.
I knew this already, but didn't want to brag about it.
I find it quite busy. Seven thistle icons? But then it's the same, somewhat overwrought, approach as the Environmental Award of a year or two ago, so at least Ive is consistent.
I can't tell you how many files (usually logos) I get from clients that have things like this. Again, unless we are plotting vinyl, I don't worry about, just happy to get a vector file and not a 72dpi .png that is 1" tall.
Weirdly enough the ‘high-res’ vector files are way bigger than the ‘lowres’ vectors. Probably because they were used to produce bitmap version. But still unnecessary since vector is scalable without losing quality as we all know…
