Crown update

How to update the Crown logo in the header and footer of Government services

In 2024 the GOV.UK Crown logo and the Royal Coat of Arms were updated. King Charles III uses the Tudor Crown, rather than the St Edward’s Crown chosen by Queen Elizabeth II.

If your service uses GOV.UK branding, your header and footer must now use the updated logo and Coat of Arms.

The updated logo and Royal Coat of Arms are included in the latest GOV.UK header and GOV.UK footer components.

Only services hosted on domains ending [myservice].service.gov.uk should use GOV.UK branding. Other DWP services, including agent-facing services, should instead use the internal service header and internal service footer.

How to update

You can get the new logo and Coat of Arms by updating GOV.UK Frontend or using DWP CASA.

Updating GOV.UK Frontend

Updating your GOV.UK Frontend package to one of the following versions will give you access to the updated header and footer components.

The version you should choose depends on which version of GOV.UK Frontend you are currently using.

To update GOV.UK Frontend:

  1. Locate your package.json file.
  2. Update the version number for the govuk-frontend package to the new version you want to install.
  3. Run npm install.

If you have already set a custom header you will need to locate it; if not, you will need a layout that you can re-use.

Using DWP CASA

If you are using DWP CASA, releases have already been made that include the new Crown logo. Choose the update that matches the major version of CASA you are currently using.

If you are using a custom layout you can get the new logo by updating GOV.UK Frontend.
