Queen Elizabeth Left Her Mark…Now What?

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch, has died, and that obviously means a lot of changes for people in the UK and across the world. But one big change will be visual: most people know the Queen’s face is on everything official, from stamps to coins to bills, so what happens there, now that she’s gone? 70 years of visual cues don’t just re-write themselves overnight! The process will be rolled out gradually, but the details of what and how needs to change are really fascinating, especially in a culture with a lot more visual hallmarks than we’re used to in the US.
