The former Apple’s Chief Design Officer, Jonathan Ive – who has been appointed a Royal Designer for Industry and a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2012 by Queen Elizabeth II – and his design firm, LoveFrom, designed the emblem for the coronation of King Charles III.

The emblem will be used for the festivities linked to the king’s coronation, this May, and on official merchandise. “The design was inspired by King Charles’ love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world. The emblem speaks to the happy optimism of spring […]. The gentle modesty of these natural forms combines to define an emblem that acknowledges both the joyful and profound importance of this occasion,” said Ive.
