Update to the new GOV.UK logo
The GOV.UK logo has been updated to reflect the changing of the monarch. King Charles III uses the Tudor Crown, rather than the St Edward’s Crown chosen by Queen Elizabeth II.
If your service uses GOV.UK branding, you must update your service between 19 February and 1 March 2024 to use the new logo.
These changes were made in the following pull requests:
Include the new logo assets
Multiple new image assets are included in this release. You’ll need to copy these to your service's image assets folder if they’re not being used directly from the Frontend package. By default this folder is located at
/assets/images
.If you’re using Nunjucks, the asset path may have been changed by the
assetPath
global variable orassetsPath
parameter on the header component.Copy the following files from
/dist/assets/images
into your assets folder. Any images with the same name as an existing image can be safely overwritten.Update the logo in the header of your page
If you’re using the
govukHeader
Nunjucks macro in your service, add theuseTudorCrown
parameter to the macro instantiation. This will become the default in a future version of GOV.UK Frontend.If you’re not using the Nunjucks macro, locate the SVG code for the existing logo and replace it with this updated SVG.
Add attributes to component form group wrappers
You can now add attributes to the form group wrapper for all components with form fields.
This change was introduced in pull request #4565: Allow
attributes
option on form groups.Use tabular numbers with the
govuk-font-tabular-numbers
mixinYou can now use tabular numbers in your authored Sass by including the new
govuk-font-tabular-numbers
mixin.Previously, you’d use the
govuk-font
mixin with the$tabular
parameter. However, thegovuk-font
mixin includes styles unrelated to tabular numbers, which are not needed in some contexts.These additional styles are not included if you use
govuk-font-tabular-numbers
. Switching to the new mixin can reduce the size of your compiled CSS without affecting the appearance of pages.This change was introduced in pull request #4307: Refactor tabular number activation into their own mixin.
Recommended changes
Replace instances of
govuk-typography-responsive
withgovuk-font-size
We've renamed the Sass mixin
govuk-typography-responsive
togovuk-font-size
and have deprecatedgovuk-typography-responsive
. You can still usegovuk-typography-responsive
, but we'll remove it in a future breaking release (GOV.UK Frontend v6.0.0).This is an experimental change to see if the name
govuk-font-size
better communicates the Sass mixin's intended use than the namegovuk-typography-responsive
.We're interested in feedback from the community on this name change, so please let us know what you think through our usual channels.
This change was introduced in pull request #4291: Rename
govuk-typography-responsive
togovuk-font-size
.Remove the
aria-labelledby
attribute from accordion sectionsIf you’re not using our Nunjucks macros, remove the
aria-labelledby
attribute from all accordion sections (div
elements that have thegovuk-accordion__section-content
class).This change was introduced in pull request #4628: Remove
aria-labelledby
from accordion sections.Deprecated features
Stop using the
element
parameter on buttonsWe’ve deprecated the
element
Nunjucks parameter and will remove it in the next major release.In the future, if the
href
parameter is set the component will automatically use the<a>
element. If thehref
parameter is not set the component will automatically use the<button>
element. It will not be possible to override this change.This change was introduced in pull request #4646: Deprecate
element
parameter on button component.Stop using
govuk-body-xs
,govuk-!-font-size-14
and '14' on the type scaleWe’ve deprecated point 14 (14px large screens, 12px small screens) on the GOV.UK Frontend responsive type scale, including font override classes that use point 14:
govuk-body-xs
govuk-!-font-size-14
We’ll remove these classes and point 14 on the type scale in the next major release, GOV.UK Frontend release v6.0.0. With this change in the v6.0.0 release, you’ll no longer be able to call the Sass mixins
govuk-font
orgovuk-font-size
with$size
set to '14'.This change was introduced in #4649: Deprecate 14 on the type scale and #4713: Ensure
govuk-font-size()
handles string keys.Fixes
