C of E unveils logo for Queen Elizabeth’s 90 birthday
From ACNS:
The Church of England has unveiled the logo that it will use for its celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s 90 birthday, after running a design competition through church schools. Ten-year-old Lucas Salinger from Potten End C of E Primary School in Hertfordshire, part of the St Albans Diocese, drew the winning design, which was selected from more than 1,000 entries.
It depicts a circular crest bordered by children holding hands. It is dissected by a cross, reminiscent of the one that hangs above the altar at Holy Trinity, the village church. It has two candles and the number 90 in the quarters; and is topped by the Royal Crown and the E-ii-R insignia, representing in Latin Elizabeth Regina II – Queen Elizabeth II.
“I feel amazed that my design was chosen,” Luke Salinger said. “I feel lost for words!”
His school’s head teacher, Andrew Morris, said that he was proud that the winning entry came from one of his pupils. “Lucas is a thoughtful and talented young man who thoroughly deserves recognition for his hard work on the logo,” Mr Morris said. “I so am pleased that Lucas has incorporated the cross design that hangs in our church in Potten End.”
