When to use this template

Use this to thank someone — a volunteer, a speaker, a donor, a departing colleague. It's warmer than a recognition certificate and doesn't imply any assessment or achievement.

The design

The dominant colours are charcoal, and nothing on the page competes with the name, which is usually the right call. It pairs Pinyon Script with Sora — a display face for the name and a plainer one for everything else.

Sizes and printing

It comes in both landscape and portrait, so you can match whatever the rest of your certificates use. Output is A4 at print resolution, which also prints cleanly on US Letter without scaling artefacts. Download the PDF if it is going to be printed or filed, or the PNG if it is going into an email or a chat app.
