Editorial note
- In the context of graffiti, the "crown" is a significant motif that carries specific cultural connotations. As a visual element, it can be incorporated into a graffito in various ways, either as a standalone symbol or as part of a larger composition. However, the crown motif holds a particular significance in the graffiti community as it is often used to denote a "king" - a graffitist who is recognised for their exceptional skill, prolific output, or significant influence within the graffiti scene. The act of adding a crown to a graffito can be seen as a form of self-assertion or a claim to status, although it is generally considered that the title of "king" should be bestowed by the community rather than self-proclaimed.
