Lindsey Spinks special Jubilee project for ‘the Sovereign’

Lindsey Spinks was asked by Sovereign Capital to produce some very British illustrations to decorate their special gift boxes for the Jubilee. To celebrate the reign of our ‘Sovereign’ and also be a bit playful with their own name and logo, they sent out a select number of boxes with sovereign penguin biscuits inside (the penguin is their logo). Lindsey’s illustrations were the perfect touch to tie the idea together, well done Lindsey!
