The planned exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union means that the British passport will need to be redesigned. Dezeen magazine launched a competition to design a new document that “showed the world a positive view of the United Kingdom post-Brexit”. The winner was the Scottish designer Ian Macfarlane, chosen for his “simple and poetic” document in red (48%) and blue (52%), representative of the result of the referendum into the nation’s place in the EU. The organizers of the competition will submit the passport design to the British government, even if the contest wasn’t officially sanctioned.
