The cover of the God Save the Queen single designed by Jamie Reid.

Jamie Reid (born 1947), educated at John Ruskin Grammar School in Croydon, is a British artist and anarchist with connections to the situationist movement. His work, featuring letters cut from newspaper headlines in the style of a ransom note came close to defining the image of punk rock, particularly in the UK. His best known works include the Sex Pistols album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols and the singles Anarchy in the UK, God Save The Queen, Pretty Vacant and Holidays in the Sun.

Reid produced a series of screen prints in 1997, the twentieth anniversary of the birth of Punk rock. Reid has also produced artwork for the world music fusion band Afro Celt Sound System. Jamie Reid created the ransom-note look used with the Sex Pistols graphics while he was designing Suburban Press, a radical political magazine he ran for five years.
