The Terra Carta stamp was designed by Sir Jony Ive
It is worth saying that the design of the Terra Carta seal was the first design project commissioned by SMI, and it emerged from the creative studio of former Apple design chief Sir Jony Ive, LoveFrom.
It is known that Ive himself spearheaded the design of the Terra Carta seal (which means letter of the earth), which depicts intricate illustrations of flora and fauna to reflect the letter’s desire to “bring people and the planet together, granting fundamental rights and value to nature ”.
The stamp is adorned with features of nature such as ladybugs, bees, monarch butterflies, birds, ferns, magnolias, and oak leaves, among other details.
In this sense, Ive said in statements that “instead of serving as superficial adornments, natural motifs gently take control of the image and are what give life to the design.”
The design is completed with the motto of Terra Carta, “concordiae naturae, hominum et planete” (for the harmony of nature, people and the planet), which encloses the circular seal.
Like the brand that brought it to life, the Terra Carta is written with the font of LoveFrom itself, that the studio has reserved for special projects.
“We thought we’d use this typeface for our friends,” says Ive, whose team spent two years developing the LoveFrom Serif typeface, bespoke.
“We couldn’t think of a better way to take advantage of a few years of work around Terra Carta, and I think the idea works quite well,” concluded the iPhone designer.
