It’s been a while since the UK Passport was redesigned, and this brand new version is due for release this October. Featuring traditional English scenes, illustrations and almost psychedelic colours, it’s a bold move from the Passport Services design team. Sometimes new designs are criticised for being too modernist, and this certainly bucks that trend so it will be interesting to see what the public reaction is to the new designs.
To see more images from the passport, and some archive photos of older ones, see this Flickr gallery.
What do you think of the new design?
