The Monarch will be marking 70 years on the throne next year with celebrations including an extended bank holiday. For the historic milestone, a competition set out to find an emblem that represents the Queen’s reign throughout the years.
Edward Roberts, 19, won the coveted prize with a design that includes nods to Her Majesty’s 1952 Coronation.
Mr Roberts described the moment he received the inspiration for the design as a “eureka moment”.
He said: “I thought if I could create a continuous line that incorporates the key features of St Edward’s crown that would be a really good way of representing the continuing reign of the Queen.”
The design features a purple background with platinum finishes, which were meant as a nod to the Robe of Estate the Queen wore while leaving Westminster Abbey after her Coronation ceremony.
The graphic design student told the Lord Chamberlain: “The crown is a very recognisable figure but I can take a very modern twist on that very classical emblem.
“So I was just thinking of ways I could make the crown a modern twist.
“So I came up with a continuous line drawing.
“And I thought that represented the continuation of the crown as the Monarch.”
