How to choose a template?

As you can see, there is a huge selection of certificate templates on this page and it might be difficult to choose. Here are a few considerations to take into account when selecting a certificate design.

Choose by color

If you like a specific color or if your business has a color scheme, then use this option to help you choose by color. If your company logo is blue, then select a certificate design with shades of blue. Don’t worry about the color of the award ribbon since you can change that with a click of your mouse.

Choose by design

When you open the award maker, you will see many options to choose from. Some of the certificate borders are formal and others are informal and even fun or childish. If you need a certificate award for a formal event, then choose something more formal. If you want a certificate for kids, then choose something less formal or check out our certificates for kids.

Choose by space available

Since it is an editable certificate template, you can edit all text. However, make sure that you will have enough space to write whatever you want to write. Some certificate examples have very limited space for content. Others have more space available. This shouldn’t be an issue unless you have a lot of text. In such a case, you might prefer a blank certificate or one with more space available.

Certificate layout

Each award certificate template has a sample layout. You are not limited to this layout. You can move the text around and you can add additional text.
