New Kyu Certificates for CKA and ESKC

We recently worked with an existing client, Chiltern Karate Association to develop kyu certificates for both the Association and Exmoor Shotokan Karate Club.

CKA was one of the first clubs that we produced Dan certificates for and they wanted to use the same font as previous certificates. They also customised the paragraph text and for these certificates decided to go with imbedded Inkan for the Association stamp along with a phoenix border.

The finished certificates are identical except for the logos so we were able to strongly discount the overall order.

So if you are thinking of updating your certificates with either a full or semi custom version just drop us a e Mail and we can start developing a graphic for your approval.

Custom Karate Dan Certificates

We recently worked with Shotokan Karate Norwich to produce their new custom dan certificates. 

Our congratulations go to Archie and George Smith on their promotion to Shodan, Oss!

SKN requested that we use a brush style font and incorporate their logo. They also chose not to embed the inkan into the certificate, but to use their own Hanko to create the inkan after the certificate is printed. We are happy to make Hanko for our customers when required, but this is left as a client option.

Logos

Helping out with logos is not a big part of our business, but if one of our customers wants a martial art based logo with some kanji etc it is an area where we can provide added value. 

Some customers don't have a concept and leave it up to us, others come with a concept for us to develop.

New Logo with Kanji and English script

For Ippon-do Honbu Dojo we created it from scratch and for Gloucestershire Karate Academy we developed their draft. 

The new SGKA logo

This was the SGKA logo concept

We often re-work a customers existing image into a high quality image that can then be used on apparel, stationary, websites and banners etc.

A3 Karate Dan Certiicates

We recently worked with Martial Arts East to produce a Dan grade certificate. 

Our congratulations go to Ethan Ward on your recent promotion to Shodan, Oss!

The Certificate incorporated the club logo, a hanko with a standard block script font for the club and smaller chief instructor hanko. 

All the certificates produced for the club will have the recipients name translated into katakana, the Dan rank in kanji, the date added in the imperial calendar format.

AKA Nafudakake

We were recently asked if we would make a couple of nafudakake for AKA members following their gradings.

Congratulations to Matt Powell and Dave Galloway from Applied Karate Association on your promotions to Godan.

The nafuda were made from maple and the kake from our standard black framing stock.

Super Sized Shotokan Tiger

We had to extend the workshop bench to accommodate this super sized Shotokan tiger (1380 x 920mm). In the photo below the frame is being assembled. 

Shotokan Tiger plaque

Our preference is the "Blue Tape" method of applying a controlled tension to the mitres in glue up. Once dried the mitres are reinforced with underpinned metal wedges and the plaque mounted in the frame. The frame will have mirror plates fitted so it can be screwed to the wall.

The Tiger is due for re-homing with its new owner on Tuesday
