God save the Queen - Sex Pistols Graphic

God save the Queen

During the Silver Jubilee week in 1977, The Sex Pistols released this track in response to the Jubilee. The track was instantly rejected by the BBC, as many of the lyrics insulted the Monarchy. Because 'God save the Queen' was proven to be illegal, it soon became the no.1 hit.


The lead singer Johnny Rotten illustrated soon after that the song wasn't written to insult the monarchy, but to in fact raise awareness of the inequalities placed onto the working-class man/woman.

I used selected Lucida Sans font and aligned the text accordingly to achieve a clean cut typography proposal.

God Save the Queen - Sex Pistols Enjoy.
