The leopard’s head, one of the most recognizable symbols in the Goldsmiths’ Coat of Arms, emerged as a central element in our conversations with stakeholders. Known as the London town mark and the first British hallmark, the leopard’s head symbolizes quality, purity, and the craftsmanship the Company has championed since its founding.

In addition to refining the leopard’s head, we reimagined each element of the Goldsmiths’ Coat of Arms – the cup and buckles, demi-maiden, and unicorn – to create a fresh, expressive visual language. Each symbol was evolved to stand alone or work together, offering freedom and flexibility for modern applications.

The Goldsmiths’ Company’s story is one of rare continuity: an organisation with deep historical roots that remains relevant in today’s contemporary world. Our mission was to create a visual identity that strikes this delicate balance – celebrating their rich history while showcasing their ongoing impact in the craft and trade of goldsmithing, silversmithing, and hallmarking.

“We wanted to retain the gravitas of the Goldsmiths’ heritage while infusing the designs with energy and playfulness. The updated graphic language and bold new color palette bring a sense of accessibility and creativity, while remaining true to the elegance of the Company’s story.”
