I am honoured to announce that I am the designer of the new Royal Cypher, having been given permission by Buckingham Palace and the College of Arms. This one was chosen by His Majesty from 10 versions I had drawn in different styles. I am delighted that my design will now appear on Royal and government buildings, stationery, military uniforms and eventually, coins and post boxes.
