About the Royal Mail Logo
Introduction
A red cross with a crown riding on top of it and the name in yellow double-lined letters — the Royal Mail logo, the cruciform, is one of Britain’s oldest national symbols in daily use. This download carries the current version, crown and all.
Brand Overview
Royal Mail is the British postal service founded in 1516, when Henry VIII established the office of Master of the Posts. For five centuries it has carried the nation’s mail; today it delivers to some 32 million UK addresses, six days a week. Its official website is royalmail.com.
History of the Royal Mail Logo
The cruciform device — a cross formed by a horizontal name bar and a vertical arm carrying the royal crown — has signed Royal Mail for decades. The current artwork, the version in this download, dates to 2024, when the crown at the top of the cross was updated to the Tudor Crown of Charles III. Note the construction: the vertical arm is drawn white with a red outline (it is part of the artwork, not a background), so the coloured crown sits inside it like a jewel in a setting.
Meaning of the Logo
- The cruciform: A cross of two bars — the horizontal carries the name, the vertical carries the Crown: the Royal in Royal Mail, drawn literally above the Mail.
- The Tudor Crown: The monarch’s crown in full heraldic colour at the cross’s head — the state’s authority behind every delivery.
- Red and yellow: Post-box red (#DA202A) for the cross, with the name in yellow (#FDDA24) — the double-line lettering of the classic British post.
Royal Mail Logo Colors

The red and yellow are sampled pixel-for-pixel from the rendered artwork; the crown carries its own heraldic colours within the white arm.
Conclusion
Royal Mail’s logo is a cross, a crown, and five hundred years of post — the rare logo that is also a piece of the state.
