The new official GOV.UK logo featuring the chosen crown of His Majesty King Charles III has launched today across the site.

When King Charles III acceded to the throne, he chose to use the Tudor Crown in his Royal Cypher. Previously, the St Edward?s Crown was used by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The design of the Tudor Crown can be distinguished by its slightly more domed appearance.

As His Majesty?s Government, GOV.UK and other instances of the crown across the Government estate are being changed to reflect the new reign.

The latest change.

I noticed the other day that the Governor of Western Australia has also made the switch in the last week or so.
