Design notes
The badge is a printer's registration mark, the target every designer has seen at the edge of a print sheet. A thin black ring with a crosshair holds a disc cut into four quadrants, one per process plate: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. GRAPHIC DESIGN sits in bold capitals across a white band, with CERTIFIED in magenta under it. The organisation name curves over the top and OK TO PRINT curves under the bottom, so the badge carries no year and reads clearly at small sizes.
About
Graphic Design Badge Template, Press Proof
A graphic design badge is the small, shareable proof that a student finished a design course and handed in every project. Design schools, online academies, bootcamps and agencies that train their own staff award it once the final project is in, so a new designer can show it on LinkedIn, a portfolio site or a freelance profile, right next to the work that earned it.

Post for the recipient to share
I have finished my graphic design course. Weeks of type studies, colour exercises and grids ended in a full brand identity that I took from brief to a print-ready file. Thank you to my instructors for the honest critiques that made every project better. My certificate is below, and my portfolio is next. #GraphicDesign #Typography #Branding
