Custom Plaque for Aikibujutsu Senyokai

Aikibujutsu Senyokai dojo contacted us and asked if we could custom build a plaque for them. As everything we do is hand made we are well placed to produce one-off custom commissions.
They wanted to use their logo and font which they had in pdf format.
We needed to import the image into our graphic design package and convert to a vector image so we could edit it.
The finished vector image is made from a series of mathematical curves, it will print very crisply even when re-sized. For instance, one can print a vector logo on a small sheet of copy paper, and then enlarge the same vector logo to billboard size and keep the same crisp quality.
A low-resolution raster graphic would blur or pixelate excessively if it were enlarged from business card size to billboard size.

The plaque was larger than most of our commissions and needed to be in a single piece rather than in nafuda sections.  We used a 12mm mdf board with a maple veneer and balancer, the board was sanded to 320 grade and a couple of coats of sanding sealer applied before it was french polished and the graphics applied. It has taken a couple of weeks to produce because we had to order in the maple board just for this job, very happy with the end result.
