A Logo Fit for a King

It was hard to miss, but the UK has a new monarch, King Charles III. And the first thing every newly-minted king needs is a logo! It combines his initial C with R, which is Latin for “Rex” and means king, and III, because he is the third of that name to wear the crown. We discussed it in an earlier post, but Great Britain has a lot of visual touchstones of their monarch, and there is a flurry of reesigns happening, especially now that the new royal logo is unveiled. For example, coins and banknotes will be quickly replaced (did you know it’s a tradition for the portrait of the new monarch to face the opposite direction than th previous one?), while mailboxes across the country will keep Queen Elizabeth’s logo, and be replaced as needed, so that will be a more gradual rollout.
