We’ll call it the iCrown. Sir Jony Ive, former Apple chief design officer and Steve Jobs compadre, is now the man behind the official emblem for the coronation of King Charles.
On Friday, the royal family’s website unveiled the emblem, which was created by Ive and his LoveFrom design collective. It features a blue crown surrounded by red plant forms that symbolize the nations of the United Kingdom.
« The design was inspired by King Charles’ love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world, » Ive is quoted as saying on the site. « The emblem speaks to the happy optimism of spring and … the gentle modesty of these natural forms combine to define an emblem that acknowledges both the joyful and profound importance of this occasion.
