iPhone designer Sir Jony Ive creates emblem for the coronation of King Charles III

iPhone designer Sir Jony Ive has created an emblem to mark the coronation of Charles III inspired by the King’s “love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world”.

Sir Jony and his creative collective, LoveFrom, have produced the insignia to celebrate Charles’s new reign.

It features a stylised image of St Edward’s Crown, which will be used to crown the monarch, created from the rose of England, thistle of Scotland, daffodil of Wales and the shamrock of Northern Ireland, in the red, white and blue of the Union flag.

Sir Jony said: “It is such an honour to be able to contribute to this remarkable national occasion, and our team is so very proud of this work.

“The design was inspired by King Charles’s love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world.

“The emblem speaks to the happy optimism of spring and celebrates the beginning of this new Carolean era for the United Kingdom.

“The gentle modesty of these natural forms combine to define an emblem that acknowledges both the joyful and profound importance of this occasion.”

The coronation emblem will feature throughout a special bank holiday weekend which will begin when Charles is crowned on Saturday May 6 at Westminster Abbey.

The following day, thousands of spectators – awarded tickets in a national ballot – will watch a star-studded Windsor Castle concert as the celebrations continue.

It will also be seen at other national events, street parties and community gatherings marking the historic event and be used on all official merchandise commemorating the coronation.
