The design of the monogram is very artistic.
The monogram is on top three of the ugliest monograms I have ever seen.
Is this the official monogram of P.C-P himself?

if so, i can see what they tried to do with the S syllable, but C and P on their own are pretty much filling enough for one monogram, so i can imagine it wasn't easy to come up with a joint variety
To be honest, I like the joint monogram. It doesn't look like snakes to me. It looks more like a bunch of flowers to me. I especially like how the S and the P flow together. This really makes them joint together.
I much prefer their joint monogram to CP's one. Yes, it's a bit more cluttered (but really though, CP's monogram was cluttered to begin with because they (whoever is in charge of the individual monograms – CG or the individual royals themselves?) inverted the letters rather than just making it one C and one P – if anything, adding the double S's has made it nicer looking IMO) but it looks more finished, so to speak, than CP's does. I also think the fact that it's black makes me like it more. It looks way more elegant than CP's blue one. Is it supposed to be black? Or was that just for the announcement?

The blue one posted above is a Wikipedia version, and not the official one. However the Royal Court uses the monograms in different colors, like, black, gold and blue.
A monogram often is in a different colour (blue, red) to differentiate from the black used in a letter. There are also colourless ones: the Dutch Royal House uses paper with a colourless monogram pressed into it (relief). Expensive, but stylish.
The court has published their joint monogram

I like the monogram.
I agree. I think whoever did it, did well.
Thanks for posting that, for some reason i think that people who have a snake-association with Sofia's "S" don't have that with Sylvia's "S"
It is mentioned just above the monogram: The monogram was designed by the heraldic artist Vladimir A. Sagerlund and Prince Carl Philip.
