Pagham KC - Logo, Kyu and Mon Certificates

We recently worked with Pagham Karate Club to update their logo and produce A4 Kyu and Mon Certificates.

They had an existing logo but it was of low resolution. They wanted to include a Japanese translation in the design. We updated the logo with the benefit that the normal rate for logo design is discounted when purchase alongside a certificate template.

New vector image logo

We incorporated the new logo, along with a club hanko into the designs for the kyu and mon certificates.

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.

Logo support

We often find that customers don't have a high resolution copy of their existing club or association logos. It is common that they have been "making do" with just an old jpeg image and their stationary and website don't look as sharp as they could do as a result.

We were recently contacted by Waterlooville Shotokan Karate Club and all they had access to was a photo of a club embroidered badge.

We were not able to use the image on the projects they were commissioning so we set out to recreate it from scratch. Sometimes we are able to convert a JPEG to a vector image and make improvements, but this was not possible in this case.

The new logo above can be enlarged to any size (as big as a tower block if you like) and it does not lose definition. This is because the image is saved as a number of curves and not pixels like a photo.

Custom Logo and Kyu grade certificate

 A while back we were contacted by a newly forming club to produce for them a new club logo and a kyu grade certificate.

Our customer had provided us with some initial artwork which unfortunately was not a high enough resolution and did not import well into our graphics package so we decided to start from scratch and produce a brand new logo as a vector image. This means that it can be enlarged to any size (as big as a tower block if you like) and it does not lose definition. This is because the image is saved as a number of curves and not pixels like a photo.

On completion of the logo we worked with the customer to produce a kyu grade certificate. The selected to add their new logo, a phoenix border and a custom hanko.

Jpeg to Vector Image

We recently worked with Senjokai Karate Academyt to re-work their logo into a vector image. Below is the end result.

Our finished vector image

The original was a low resolution jpeg image which if enlarger pixelates, even at full size the image is not crisp and does not represent the club in the best light.

Jpeg Original

You can see from the close up of the vector image that there is no loss of quality when an image is increased. Even if increased to the size of a building no quality would be lost.

Vector close up

The original image was traced and within our software the cure / shapes are saved as curves not pixels like in a camera image. We took the original kanji and replaced it with our stock block font, again as a vector image.

Logo for Samurai Shotokan Karate School

We were recently approached by Samurai Shotokan Karate School to see if we could update their old logo. They wanted to shorten the name but keep the reference to Shotokan so we incorporated the Shotokan kanji in the middle of the logo.

The way of the barefoot warrior

Recently we completed a re-working of a logo for one of our established customers and thought you might like to see the journey of creation, the "logo-do"

It is a normal trait of the martial artist to do everything to the best of your abilities - "Hitotsu! Doryoku no seichin o yashinau koto!"
Our client has a passion and we like to think we share this passion, so we were happy to keep making small adjustments until we reached a final design.
Most clubs will use their logo for many, many years so it is worth taking whatever time is necessary.
