We seem to have had a bit of a run on commissions that are a little more challenging, and take a fair bit additional design time up.
We were working with Maksym from Poland who was looking for a presentation piece to recognise fifty years of budo of their chief instructor.
It was unusual in a way, because it was important to capture rankings from four separate disciplines. These would normally be on individual nafuda, but that would overwhelm the piece. In the end we used a double width nafuda for the grades and disciplines and balanced the piece with two single nafuda each side.
We had to recreate the Aikido Aikikai logo from scratch as we could not find a suitable vector image online.
We probably went a little "above and beyond" with this project, but at the end of the day we were celebrating a budoka with fifty years dedication. Worth a little bit of extra time on our part I think.
The nafuda were made from Canadian hard maple as the light colour is best as a background for logo, especially if yellow is included.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Maksym on this one, hope it arrives safely in Poland in the next few days.
