I find it hilarious that the related articles includes this: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/architecture-design... , which basically details how the UK government has managed to make an utter mess of the same exact design space.

We seem to have a knack for including portrait drawings that look like a bad DeviantArt fan-art. That Shakespeare picture is pretty goofy, and the Clydesdale Bank 20 GBP note has a particularly awful depiction of Robert The Bruce, for example: http://www.britishnotes.co.uk/news_and_info/scottishlatestne...
Wow, those look awful. The subtitle "Why must the UK passport look like a clumsy photocopied moodboard? is an apt description.
