Silver Jubilee
2012 Jubilee Logo Designed By Kids
The Queen trusts her loyal subjects so much that she is giving the usually multi-million pound job of custom logo design to TV-viewing children, as announced by the BBC on Sunday 31st of October.
With a bag full of crayons, colourful pens and glitter-glue, children watching long-running kid’s show Blue Peter will become logo designer for a day, with the winners seeing their logo designs featured on a vast range of commemorative crockery and other memorabilia, to celebrate 60 years of Elizabeth II. Logos for previous Jubilees in 1977 and 2002 were professionally designed.
Blue Peter’s monday edition broke news of the competition to excited children. The Royal Crown must be depicted somewhere on the design, but the Queen herself must not appear. Three age categories were announced: six to eight-year-olds, nine to eleven-year-olds and twelve to fourteen-year-olds. A panel of children’s illustrators and Blue Peter staff will judge the entries, and they will be overseen by British designer Marin Lambie-Nairn. Winners will be announced in February 2011. Buckingham Palace will hold a special ceremony for winners and runners up.
In Feburary 2012, Queen Elizabeth II will be only the second British monarch to celebrate sixty years on the throne. The only previous monarch to reach their Diamond Jubilee was Elizabeth’s Great Great Grandmother, Queen Victoria, who reigned for 63 years in total.
Blue Peter itself has been a significant and constant fixture in the lives of British children during the monarch’s reign, reaching a fifty second year on the air this October. The show was recently criticized for fixing another competition during a period of telephone-voting controversies that rocked the British television industry. The show runners will be hoping that their selected logo designs will result in significantly less controversy than the naming of their studio cat, ‘socks’.
With the Olympics also following within the Jubilee year, 2012 is promising to be very exciting indeed for the British. Inevitable comparisons between the winning Blue Peter design and the widely-disliked London 2012 logo will be made savagely in the country’s media..
