Red Nose Day is nearly here and Comic Relief has unveiled a new Red Nose for 2023

A brand new magically transforming Red Nose created by legendary designer Sir Jony Ive has been revealed today to mark the official launch of Red Nose Day 2023. Over the past year, Comic Relief’s famous Red Nose has been through the most dramatic makeover since its debut in 1988.

Designed by Jony Ive, the creative genius behind Apple’s most sought-after products, this truly is a Red Nose like no other. To celebrate this new chapter for the Red Nose, Richard Curtis and Sir Lenny Henry – the co-founders of Comic Relief – have teamed up with Diane Morgan on a new film to proudly present the new look and feel of the little Red Nose that makes a really big difference.

Jony Ive said: “We’ve grown up with Comic Relief and are proud to support their remarkable work. This new and seemingly simple Red Nose has been a fabulously complex little object to design and make and has involved our entire team. We hope it brings a little moment of joy to everyone who wears one.”

AJ Odudu, Amanda Holden, Frankie Bridge, Adam Thomas, Gethin Jones, Greg James, Jay Blades, Miranda Hart, Sindhu Vee, Sir Lenny Henry, and Vicky Pattison have come together to help kick things off and be some of the first to try on the new Red Noses. While the design has changed, the purpose hasn’t as with every Red Nose bought, supporters will be helping people through the toughest times of their lives.
