Design
The Terra Carta and the Terra Carta Seal have been designed by Sir Jony Ive and his team at his creative collective LoveFrom.
The design of the Terra Carta Seal features a new typeface developed by the team, and the coronet of The former Prince of Wales.
Working closely with His Majesty King Charles III in his former role as The Prince of Wales, the design was based upon sacred forms that establish the underlying organisation and structure of the design.
Natural references include oak leaves, fern, magnolia, honeybees, swallows and the monarch butterfly, entwined with the typography.
These elements reinforce the sense of harmony and fertility, allowing flora and fauna to gently take control in a vibrant celebration of nature.
SIR JONY IVE, KBEWith respect for both the historic resonance of the Terra Carta and for the environment, we have used modest, natural materials and celebrated craftsmanship with a delicate, illustrated design. This feels a sensitive and sincere commemoration for those who have committed to the aims of the Terra Carta, and we are so very grateful to be able to contribute to such an important and impactful initiative.
