Well, we always like a bit of custom, but we have never done anything like this before.
We were asked if we could produce a plaque for a home dojo with a "Legend of Zelda" twist.
Our client sent us some artwork with a rough layout using the triangular theme and kanji from Legend of Zelda and wanted to add Fuji San in the centre triangle.

The layout in the graphics package was a bit of a challenge as items look better placed by eye rather than what would be central to their individual triangle. Again we used the maple backing board with black frame which allows a strong contrast for the graphic.
We don't often post pictures of the reverse side, but thought you might be interested in how the frames are finished. All our frames are glued and underpinned in the corners, the maple board is retained by flat tabs and a framers tape is used to seal the frame. Smaller plaques like this are prepared as for picture hanging. Bigger plaques and dojo name boards are usually supplied with mirror plates.
Custom plaques are charged at a rate depending on size and amount of graphic design required.
