AuthentiKan

We have created this large 11″ by 17″ medium-weight cardstock black belt martial arts certificate for Anshin Arashi Budo Bugei Kai. The client, Dr. Vernon Love, provided the beautiful vector aikido artwork and we created the unique layout and added the black belt heading, Japanese translation, and typesetting. The images below show the way the certificate looks after adding instructor stamps and a security edge stamp.

Final version

The header is a black belt across the top of the certificate with the organization’s name in English and in Japanese kanji. Japanese kanji is the Japanese adaptation of Chinese characters.

The school, Anshin Arashi Budo Bugei Kai, practices Aikido, Aiki Ju-jutsu, and judo. It is heavy into throws, especially aiki-type throws. The image in the center is a good representation of what the school does. The same image is also used as a watermark in the background to help prevent forgery.

On the right side of the certificate is a description of the school and art in Japanese. It shows that all members achieving the specified rank have been certified by the Ryu Soke’s personal authority.

On the left side is a typical diploma format and text in English: “This certifies that [name] has successfully completed all of the requirements and standards required for promotion to [rank] in the art of [name of the art] and is entitled to all of the rights and privileges appertaining thereto.”

We provide Word and PDF templates that allow the client to easily customize the name, rank, and art on the certificate. Since the certificate is 11 inches tall and 17 inches wide, a wide-format printer is needed to print onto the certificate.
