GOV.UK updates crown logo
GOV.UK has updated its logo with a new crown.
The change is a reflection of the accession of King Charles III. In September 2022, the College of Arms announced His Majesty King Charles III’s Royal Cypher, which features the monarch’s chosen crown.
The Cypher of King Charles III features the Tudor Crown, rather than the St Edward’s Crown chosen by Queen Elizabeth II.
The new crown on GOV.UK is a representation of the King's cypher.
Forms of the crown are being updated across government to reflect the new cypher.
