About this template
If you need to welcome a new member, this Astronomy Club Certificate does it with a contemporary layout that environmental groups, science clubs and labs will recognise straight away. Unbounded sets the title and Inter carries the details, with planets and orbits giving the page its character. You will also find it under Achievement on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
With a warm welcome to [Name], our newest member since [Month Year].
Welcome to [Club], [Name]! Your membership is valid from [Date] to [Date].
[Name] is a member in good standing of [Association]. Signed by the Secretary, [Date].
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the observing nights and objects logged lines. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Unbounded and Inter. 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 & Moonlight, Deep Violet and Observatory Teal), and every single colour can be changed. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Reem Kufi.
Printing tips
Use a smooth white paper rather than parchment, so the clean lines stay sharp. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. The background is dark, so a laser printer or a print shop will give the richest colour.
