Love Cov celebrates all of the reasons we love our city. Through Love Cov, we aim to bring people together by highlighting the communities, places and stories that make Coventry unique.
The Love Cov logo features a heart and an elephant - symbols of love and the city’s strength. Coventry’s civic crest shows an elephant carrying the original castle which represents the resilience of its people.
The iconic elephant is seen across the city and appears in surprising places, from the stained-glass windows in Holy Trinity Church to the logo on popular bar and restaurant, Cosy Club and even on the badges of our football and rugby clubs.



Tell us why you love Cov
Maybe it’s the local streets and spaces that hold cherished memories for you, your family and friends. Or perhaps it’s the weekly meetups — whether at the local history group, fitness class, or school the school playground — that create a sense of togetherness in your community.
Or could it be the quiet yet fierce pride we all share for our city and its remarkable journey through the years?
Whatever it is, we’d love to hear why you love Coventry.
