Design notes

The badge is a round photographic plate in a deep navy rim. ATHLETE OF THE YEAR curves across the top and the year sits at the bottom, while a ring of twelve sand segments stands for the months of the season, one of them gold. Inside, two line-drawn sprinters move towards a solid gold champion with both arms raised, all on one ground line, above a small AWARD label and the organisation's name and logo. The figures stay clear even at thumbnail size.

About

Athlete of the Year Award Badge Template, Motion Study

Athlete of the Year is usually the last and biggest award of a sports season. A school names one at its awards evening or final assembly, a club at its presentation night, and a league or county association across all its teams. The winner earns it over a whole year: titles won, personal bests broken and the example set for teammates. As a digital badge it goes straight to a student's profile, a recruiting page or a scholarship application, with the issuer's name to show where it was won.
