The winning design (below) was created by UK-based designer and citizen of Liechtenstein Marc Weymann.

“According to the Liechtenstein government, Weymann’s identity was chosen from the shortlist of five following a nationwide poll open to all citizens of Liechtenstein aged 14 years or over — around 30,000 people.”
