Design notes

The shield holds a short two-round draw from each side, slate brackets on deep navy, and only the left path is gold: it climbs through both rounds and threads straight into the crown at the top. Below, an ivory band carries CHAMPION in engraved capitals, with the organisation name and TOURNAMENT under it in gold, all clear at small size. It suits any knockout cup or playoff where the title was won match by match.

About

Champion Badge Template, Knockout Draw

When a tournament ends, the winning player or team wants to show the title straight away, long before a framed certificate is on the wall. A champion badge goes on a LinkedIn profile, a club website, a gaming profile or a school portfolio and links back to the verified award. Sports clubs, school leagues, esports organisers, chess and quiz federations and company sales contests all hand one to the side that came through the final.
