SGKA Kyu Certificate

We recently worked with South Gloucestershire Karate Association to develop a kyu certificate.

They had a logo concept which we developed for them into a vector image, with the benefit that the normal rate for logo design is discounted when purchase alongside a certificate template.

Logo Concept

SGKA also had a basic layout that they wanted to replicate into a high quality kyu certificate. The layout was was quite a change from our standard template, but fairly straight forward for us to produce.

Personal Hanko for grading books

We recently manufactured square self inking stamps for use in grading books for the Southwest Karate Association.

The work up in the graphics package

We translate the names and import them into the software. The font was then reduced in size and individually spaced vertically. The font was increased in width by 25% to "fill" the hanko and SKA was embolded and added.

The graphics for the individual stamps

The finished hanko ready for posting

Personal hanko are normally round or oval, but  our client wanted to use Christian and Surname and SKA. So it is a bit of a hybrid between a personal an organisational stamp. The Square format is traditionally used for a business, club or Association etc, but we like how they turned out and ideal for the clients requirements.

New Kyu grade certificates for Ippon-do honbu dojo

We recently worked with Ippon-do Honbu Dojo to develop kyu certificate.

They didn't have an existing logo so we developed one with them, with the benefit that the normal rate for logo design is discounted when purchase alongside a certificate template.

We produced a couple of variations for them to comment / choose from, below is the final certificate.

Square Personal Hanko

We recently manufactured a square self inking stamp for use in grading books.

Personal Hanko are normally round or oval, but to get a good "fit" for Christian, Middle and Surname  we were asked if we could design to a square format.

The width to height ratio and spacing have been adjusted in our graphics package and individually placed.

The client requested if we could design, manufacture and deliver ready for a mid July grading. 

The Hanko is in the post with a few days to spare.

EKF Senior Dan Grade Certificates

Our Congratulations go to Doug James - 9th Dan, Ged Tumman - 8th Dan, Tomiyama Sensei - 9th Dan and Barry Tatlow - 9th Dan on your awards made by the EKF today, Sensei ni rei, Oss!

EKF Senior Dan Awards - July 2022

It was a great honour to be asked by the English Karate Federation to work with them to develop a fully custom certificate.

Doug James's - 9th Dan certificate

We did not use one of our standard templates for this project as the EKF had some essential elements that they wanted to incorporate. 

The certificate needed to be suitable for a multi-ryu organisation and needed to balance a Japanese heritage with a more diverse group of Associations.

Belt Label Design

We were recently approached by an existing client to see if we could help out and undertake the design work for a custom belt label. They are looking at having custom belts made for their Association and wanted a custom label design to send to the manufacturers.

Belt Label design with Background

The embroidery will be stitched on a black material so we produced one graphic on how the end result will look. We also produced a second graphic which is the image for the embroiderer. You will note that you cant read the white text as it appears on the white background, but it is still there in the image file.

Belt Label design without background

If you are thinking about ordering custom belts and want some design undertaking just drop us an E Mail to sotosabisu@btinternet.com, There are big discounts for existing customers where we already have vector files of your logo and kanji.
