Scope and content
The Badge commissioned by the Council in the late 1970's. First worn by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh on 5th December 1979 when he presided at the Design Management Symposium. The Badge is made of 18 carat yellow, white and red gold, showing a formalized image of the Society's House as its centrepiece surrounded by four curved panels on which are engraved the words 'President / Royal Society / of Arts'. Four pearls are set at the diagonal points of the design and the concave rims between the panels and the picture are pierced with tiny slots. The oval plaque at the head of the badge bears a charge derived form Prince Philip's coat-of-arms encircled by the Garter and surmounted by a Princely diadem.\n\nThe badge was designed by Professor R Y Godden RDI (who also designed the badges worn by the Chairman of Council and the Master of the Faculty of RDIs), made by Mr John Donald and engraved by Mr George Lukes.
