About this template
Boards, foundations and award committees reach for designs like this one when they want to put a thank-you in writing: a timeless Patent Recognition Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. Look closely and you will notice scattered stars and gears, set off by Sorts Mill Goudy lettering in chocolate. It works just as well as a competition award or a course completion certificate.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Thank you, [Name], for always going the extra mile. We could not have done it without you.
With heartfelt thanks to [Name] for supporting [Project] from the first day to the last.
Presented to [Name] in recognition of a contribution that will be remembered long after [Event].
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line. Prefer another look? Switch to the Patent Office or Blueline colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
Heavy matte or parchment paper gives it the weight of an official document. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
