Most logos of large companies contain some kind of meaning – either a reference to historical roots, a graphic reflection of the position or goals of the brand, or the aesthetic vision of the company’s management. Therefore, on many logos, in addition to inscriptions, we see additional symbols that represent one or another quality.
Today we will talk about logos that have the Crown in them. In some logos it is the main element, in others, it is almost invisible. But the crown is always a symbol of strength and grandeur, confidence, and, of course, quality. In this article, we have compiled completely different logos, which we will discuss below, in alphabetical order.
Smirnoff
The famous brand of vodka, Smirnoff, has a logo, based on the iconic heraldic symbol, the two-headed eagle, with a small geometric crown on top. All elements of the badge feature clean straight lines and angles, hence the minimalistic style of the crown looks here very logical and stylish. The three triangular peaks of the Smirnoff crown are accompanied by the three large triangles pointing down at the tail of the bird.
Canada Dry
The popular Canadian soft drink has a very colorful and juicy logo, decorated with a playful crown on top. Drawn in glossy green color, it supports the frame of a wide yellow and white badge, with the enlarged red lettering crossing it. The crown has five sharp peaks with small spheres on top of them, and the middle peak is taller than four others, while the left and right ones are a bit taller than the two neighboring.
Royal Caribbean International
Royal Caribbean International is a company, that is engaged in running cruises, so its visual identity is a perfect representation of its activity. The Horacio tally oriented rectangle is divided into three parts: the dark blue circle with an emblem on the left, the wide light-blue rectangle with the name of the company, and the narrow yellow one with the uppercase “International” tagline. The emblem of the company is composed of a white geometric crown, being the top part of an anchor with a triangular bottom part.
Orient
The Japanese watch manufacturer, Orient, has a very nice modern interpretation of a traditional crest design in its logo. The shield, placed between two lions rampant is decorated by a wide solid crown with four peaks with small circles on the ends. The color, used for the crown is also used for the bold serif lettering in the uppercase Orient logotype, set under the graphical part. Hence, it adds balance and equalizes the heavy parts of the badge, making it look harmonious.
Alfa Romeo
The famous Italian automobile manufacturer uses heraldic marines for its primary logo, and the crown on it is just a small detail in the complicated and intense composition. Drawn abstractly, above the head of a serpent, it is set in glossy silver on a silver background, so makes more of a delicate accompaniment, emphasizing the history of the brand and its heritage. The Alfa Romeo crow is a symbol of excellence.
Old Dominion Monarchs
The “Monarchs” part of the name of the athletic teams from the Old Dominion University is depicted on their logo in the shape of a crown. The crown is set on the head of a lion, drawn in blue and gray above the logotype, underlined by a thin gray ribbon with the white uppercase “University” lettering on it. The animal looks very aggressive and dangerous, and the crown on its head only elevated these feelings.
Hallmark
The iconic American brand, known for its postcards and toys, also has a crown in its logo, and here the symbol is as important as the recognizable cursive lettering. Both elements of the logo are set in solid black, on a transparent background, but sometimes the crown can be drawn in gold. The crown on the Hallmark badge has thin and sharp peaks with small dots above them, and a horizontally stretched oval under it. This oval looks more like a halo, which adds a specific charm to the badge.
Nice
The crown on the sports club from Nice is almost invisible. An eagle in light gold, holding a black crest with red vertical stripes, holding a white ribbon with the datemark on it. The bold white lettering in a clean sans-serif typeface is set on the top part of the black shield. As for the crown, it is drawn in the same shade of gold, like the bird, and placed at a slight distance above its head. It is very small and has five peaks, decorated with five circles.
Orange Bowl
The crown on the logo of the Orange Bowl is sharp and playful. Drawn diagonally on the orange fruit, placed at the bottom of the blue and white crest, it is executed in a lighter shade of orange, with a white and blue outline, decorated by two green leaves on the right. The crown here looks more like a juice splash, showing the summer vibes and fun happy mood. One of the depictions of a crown is perfectly inscribed into a modern and friendly visual identity concept.
Queen
The logo of the legendary band Queen has more than one crown on it. The central part of the badge is taken by an enlarged crown with arched lines, which is enclosed into a vertically oriented oval. On the sides of this medallion, there are two lions, and each has a heavy crown on its head. The one on the left has a more geometric crown, with triangular peaks, while the right one has a more elegant and smooth one.
Saab
On the logo of the Swedish automobile marque, Saab, the crown is placed on the head of a griffin, drawn on a circular badge with a double rounded outline around it, and the bold sans-serif lettering above it.

The Saab crown has three ornate peaks with softened edges, which makes it look very exquisite and chic.

The badge of the brand is executed in an elegant white, light-gold, and black color palette, with the solid golden circle in the center, enclosed into a massive white frame with a gold and black outline. The black logotype is set in a gothic-style typeface and decorated by a sophisticated gold and black crown above it.
Braga
The Portuguese football club has been using one traditional heraldic emblem for many years, and the crown has always been an essential element of the logo. Arched on top of the crest, the crown supports the rounded contour of the bottom part of the badge, making the composition very balanced. The crown itself has five peaks, stylized as towers, with square elements, looking stable and even brutal, at the same time reflecting the historical roots of the club.
Cincinnati
The football club Cincinnati also has a crown on its badge, although it’s not very easy to see. The bold white geometric crown is placed on the head of a white griffon, drawn on the bottom part of a modern crest, over an orange background. The Cincinnati crown is very strict and minimalistic, compared to the same symbol on other badges, and this is what makes it more interesting.
Starbucks
Another super-famous brand with the crown in its logo is Starbucks. The iconic mermaid in black and white, placed in the center of the roundel with a wide green framing, has a massive crown with five peaks on her head. The central peak is stylized as a large solid five-pointed star, and the other four peaks of the crown are balanced by the forked ends of the mermaid’s tails.
Crown Royal
The name of the Canadian whiskey brand does not leave any doubt about what has to be depicted on its logo. Of course, the crown here takes the leading part. It is placed on a pillow above the cursive lettering, looking elegant and sleek. Although the official color palette of the Crown Royal‘s visual identity is black-and-white, the emblem can mostly be seen as a very “Royal” purple, gold, and red combination, which makes the crown look even chicer.
Standard de Liège
A professional football club from Belgium, Standard de Liege, has a very sophisticated logo in gold and red, with lots of air due to the presence of white elements. The narrow smooth crest has a right top part, accompanied by a three-peaked crown with an elegant star above the middle one. Each peak has a very thin and sharp tail, which balanced the thin rays of the star. As the main part of the logo, it is vertically divided into two parts — with the golden monogram on the right, and a solid red segment on the left.
Toronto Marlies
The Canadian hockey club Toronto Marlies made a crown a central element of their logo, placing it on the blue maple leaf with thin white accents.

Manchester Monarchs
The logo of the Manchester hockey team, which doesn’t exist anymore, also had a crown in it, although it’s not the first thing you notice on this badge.

On the lion’s head, there was a gray crown, which could barely be seen because of the gray mane of the animal.

Emilio Pucci
We got used to seeing the laconic text logo, used by the famous fashion brand, but its official version has a graphical part in it too. It is a stylized monogram in thin lines, looking like an abstract butterfly, and a large bold crown above it.

The middle peak of five is the largest and tallest.

All elements of the badge are set in one dark shade of blue, which makes the crown even less visible.

Pandora
The bold modern logotype of the famous jewelry brand Pandora is all about the self-sufficient stable letters, written in thick lines with very small sharp serifs on the ends of the bars.
