The leave campaign received 52 per cent of the vote, while 48 per cent voted to remain.
The creative community – the majority of which was vocal in its support to remain in the EU ahead of the referendum – has responded to the news with a host of graphics and illustrations.
Many of the images show one of the 12 yellow stars of the European Flag fallen out of the circular arrangement, or replaced with a teardrop.
One illustration depicts a man on a ladder covering over a star with blue paint – the colour that forms the background of the flag, which was first designed by Paul M G Lévy in 1955.
In a picture of a bunch of balloons by Andrea Angeli, each displaying the EU member countries' flags, the UK's string has been snipped.
On a similar theme, a graphic that originated in the Wall Street Journal shows a map of Europe stitched together, but the threads connecting the British Isles to the continent are being cut by a giant pair of scissors.
A variety of stock images have also begun to circulate on Instagram.
In the run up to yesterday's vote, a selection of the UK's leading architects and designers told Dezeen that they all backed a decision to remain in the EU.
Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and British designer Tom Dixon were among those who spoke out about their opposition to Brexit, while a survey found that 90 per cent of British fashion designers were in favour of staying.
Early on in the campaigns, German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans created a series of graphics that urged voters to back the remain camp.
