In most award certificates, you will commonly find details like the title, presentation line, awardee's name, presentor's name, short description, date, company name, location, and signature line. You can typically find these on most certificates since these are vital information. You may use several fonts but not too many to avoid overdoing it. Your excellence certificate needs to look neat and clean. However, if you use too many font styles, the end product will appear cluttered and unprofessional.
2. Give It a Design
To outwardly show you truly appreciated the recipient of the award, exert effort in designing your certificate. Contemplate on how you are going to design your excellence certificate. Pay close attention to the colors you use. Choose the most appropriate color scheme for the document. You can incorporate ribbons, borders, and other graphics that you think will make the document more appealing. If you want to save time designing, you can utilize our variety of easily editable excellence certificate templates above. Also, you may incorporate your company color and logo to give it your branding.
3. Keep It Neat
There might be a lot of information and design elements you want to place on your excellence certificate. However, you do not want to make it appear cluttered and unprofessional. Be sparing with your information and design. Make sure to leave enough white spaces every word and use a neat format for the certificate. Make sure to review and recheck your certificate before printing.
4. Print Certificate
Do select the size of your document and its orientation that you think is fitting for your certificate. When printing your document, opt using a high-quality paper stock since it can affect the overall quality of the certificate. You can use a plain paper if you want since high-quality paper tends to be expensive. However, the higher the quality of your stationery, the better the end product.
