About this template
Here is a contemporary way to honour years of loyalty: the Black Ornate 20 Years of Service Award, a template that suits employers, HR teams and boards. On CerShare it comes in the Deep Plum colour scheme, with corner ornaments as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs Archivo Black with Manrope. You will also find it under Awards & Competitions on CerShare.
Suggested wording

This certificate honours [Name] for 20 Years of Service Award: [Years] years of dedication and friendship.
With sincere thanks to [Name] for [Years] years of service. You leave big shoes to fill.
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. The design comes with three colour schemes (Midnight Aurora, Deep Plum and Forest Night), and every single colour can be changed. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
A smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
