Design notes
The badge is the copper plate an etching is pulled from, raised with a bevelled edge and a fine engraved border, its face lightly cross-hatched. The issuer's logo and organisation sit at the top, Original Artwork in italic beneath them, and AUTHENTIC fills the band between two rules. At the bottom edge, a carmine chop holds the studio's burin mark. The words stay readable at small sizes, so it works as an authenticated mark on a web page.
About
Authentic Artwork Badge Template, Copper Plate
Once a work is in the issuer's register, the owner often wants to show it beyond a paper file. A digital authenticity badge sits on the credential page, on an online gallery listing or on an artist's portfolio site, and tells a buyer at a glance that the piece has a verified record behind it. Galleries, print studios and artists issue it alongside the full certificate, one per work or per edition.

Post for the recipient to share
A new piece has joined my small collection, and it came with its certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist and recorded in the gallery's register. It is a good feeling to know the story of a work is kept safe along with the work itself. Thank you to the artist and the gallery team for the care they took. #ArtCollecting #OriginalArt
