34875 Student's design chosen for Queen's Platinum Jubilee emblem
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-58062455

A student has said he is "over the moon" after his design was selected as the emblem to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee next year.

Edward Roberts's purple and white logo was chosen ahead of a number of entries from young creatives.

Featuring a stylised crown and working in the number 70, the round background appears similar to a royal seal.

The 19-year-old, from Southwell in Nottinghamshire, said: "It's just an amazing feeling to win it."

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee will be marked in June 2022 with a four-day bank holiday weekend, among other celebrations.

Still something you can brag about to your mates.

Personally, I think it's a bit underwhelming. It's not a kind of trainwreck like the 2012 Olympics logo, far from it, but it still neglects one of the rules of visual design, and that is instant legibility. Maybe not so much when it comes to events as special and singular as the Platinum Jubilee, but at least in the world of advertising and brand logos, nowadays you have mere split seconds in which your customer will try to make sense of your logo, or won't. Even if your customer has to think "oh, that's right, there's the number 70 worked into that logo", that could already be a few split seconds too many.

Now, say, if she was competing with four other monarchs who were all going to celebrate their platinum jubilee next year, then I'm sure there would be some sort of thought towards sticking out against the competition with your logo a bit more.

Personally, I think that line of thinking is getting too pervasive. I see a fair amount of white vans nowadays with some flashy marketing-focused logo for their plumbing or joinery business, which in the past would have just said "Smith & Co. here's our number". The latter just seems more fitting, I want a plumber, not "plumbing solutions".

The white vans aren't the culprit though. It's our culture of instant gratification and "everything, all the time". There have been studies that people on Tinder decide in less than 500 milliseconds if they swipe left or right. Our whole environment is saturated all day long with advertising messages, and people just can't process all of them the way they used to be able to 30 years ago. So you only have seconds, if that, to make a lasting impression on your target audience, and part of that is an instantly accessible logo. If they have to figure out your logo, then that's already too long.

On the other hand, you're not selling a product as such with the Platinum Jubilee, it's not a brand that you attempt to gain market share with. So you get away with a logo like the one above that takes a moment to figure out and fully appreciate.

It does follow some other current design trends, i.e. a "flat" design with a limited, high-contrast colour palette, as well as some hand-drawn, doodle-like elements. It's not completely unfashionable. Just not a kind of logo that you would advertise a brand of clothing or sweets with.

I was thinking about the Golden Jubilee the other day. Street parties on our estate, "fun" days at school where we ate sweets and played games. A real time of togetherness and celebration. But what will the next jubilee be like. We've grown more cynical in a post-Blair, post-7/7 world. Sad really.

If Queenie makes it till next year, the lad will probably get shedloads in royalties, unless he agreed to a one-time award of probably just a few hundred quid. Not to mention it'll be a feather in his cap as an aspiring graphic designer. Which it will be in any case, but if the jubilee then doesn't happen, it'd be sort of a downer. Or maybe he can then turn it into a funeral emblem with a few touches.

That would be an insult, considering the London 2012 logo cost £400,000 and looks like a child's drawing.

The V&A knew what they were doing. Even for a jubilee, with its impact limited to the UK unlike the Olympics, an ad/design agency probably would have asked somewhere in the region of 50 grand. Perhaps much more. A design student naturally can't expect to earn that kind of money on a side project like that, but they're still making themselves look stingy. It should have been worth at least ten or twenty grand to them. Considering all the money that will be earned from merchandise licensing.

I'm pretty sure we'll get the day off if she dies as well. Maybe they could use a hologram and at the end of the celebration she floats into the sky to magically grant an extra day off. Let's see Netflix adapt that.

I had assumed that the conversation (which is what I've seen) of three-tier to two-tier education was an American influence - a way to save money by cramming more age groups together. Having spoken to parents looking at where they want to move to they do have a preference for their being less age difference between the eldest and youngest.

>>34917
I'm struggling to think of where you live that wouldn't have people identifying as such. Even in Scotland you have Unionists and the mutants born from unions of national identities. I'd go as far as to say that most English people are liable to identify as British with that identification following fashion.

I always thought it was an old fashioned thing, as I don't remember any middle schools near me when I was of that age. Some districts scrapped them years ago, but Wikipedia tells me a fair few still exist. I think there is a general move to get rid of them, but it's slow I guess. One of the few occasions you could call Wakey or Bradford ahead of the times.

But you're English, aren't you? Or Scottish, maybe, or even Welsh if they have electricity now. It is very rare in my experience for a person from Great Britain to say they are "British" rather than English/Scottish/Welsh/Scouse/Manx/Jerriais/whatever.

Not really, maybe in your circles, but if you asked me in this context I'd say I was British. There are mountains of survey evidence regularly collected on the shifts of identity in Britain to show this out but frankly I think talk of there being no British identity is a frankly divisive statement pushed by people with an anti-English sentiment.

Now go put the kettle on and fetch me my pipe.

Maybe the government should conduct some sort of national survey about how its residents identify. Maybe they could do it every ten years. If they did that you could save yourself from talking shite.

I don't understand why we're even having this conversation. While I do happen to identify primarily as British, I was talking about other people from the UK, not myself. You know, British people.

Yanklad here, I am invariably recognised as "British", but I am sometimes asked if I am "British or Scottish". That said, any accent that isn't Received Pronunciation or Dick Van Dyke cockney is met with skepticism, and I've even had Americans confidently insist that I am Australian based on my accent.

My point being that "British" and "English" are synonyms this side of the pond, whereas there does exist a transatlantic distinction between "British" and "Scottish". They do not understand Wales at all.

Profoundly aggravating, I wouldn't mind of they at least insisted on distinguishing the individual nations, in that typical Yank way how everyone has to have a concrete ethnic origin. But British is a catch-all for any one of the countries, like European. I hate how they can't grasp it.

Where are you from, out of curiosity? It amused me that they even had trouble with my relatively mild Sarf Leeds accent when I were there.

Partly the ridiculous chip on the shoulder that Scousers have about everyone and everything, partly a latent memory of a time before cheap holidays when we always spent a fortnight in a rain-lashed caravan in Rhyl.

There's an element of cameraderie given our mutual hatred of the English, but the sheer Welshness of the Welsh is a bitter reminder that Scousers are inescapably English whether they like it or not.
