Red & Black Recognition Certificate

A4 landscape certificate with a bold red and black color scheme. Uses IBM Plex Sans for clean, modern typography that reads well at any size.

Designed for formal recognition—employee of the month, service awards, project completions, or peer nominations. The darker palette gives it more weight than typical pastel certificates.

Two signature positions for manager and HR, or any two certifying parties. The layout handles long names without breaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the red color to match our brand?
Yes. Replace the background image in the editor with your own design, or edit the existing image in an image editor first.
What's the difference between recognition and achievement certificates?
Recognition is typically given by the organization to acknowledge contributions. Achievement certificates are earned by completing something specific—a course, exam, or milestone.
Can I add a date field?
Add a text element in the editor and position it where you want the date to appear. Use a template variable like {{date}} for dynamic dates.
How do I print these for a team of 50 people?
Use the API with a CSV or spreadsheet of names. Loop through your data and generate one PDF per person, or merge them into a multi-page document.
Should I use glossy or matte paper?
Matte card stock (120-160gsm) works best for certificates. Glossy can look cheap and shows fingerprints.
