TOTJO Certificate template test

yep, I didn't do the wording on that... just copy from other TOTJO certificate

sorry my fault with greetings, but its easy to fix, was just an example.

about the logo as watermark, i can not make it darker of what it is, or is gonna be mixed with the wording.
anyway, we can set another logo somewhere in the certificate, or if we send it to print in a nice place, we can order this GOLD SEALS and print the logo on it,

What I show, its an idea, if someone like corrections, or modifications, no problem, is not hard to do.

I show the idea, and then we all can refine it.

thanks , and yes, i like to hear from others, always.
if someone has a better wording, let me know. this come from a TOTJO certificate from 2007

most states do require the gold seal on ordination certificates and they usually have an embossed symbol of the issuing organization.

when you register a company (in Florida) they give you the device, to do the embossed stamp... guessing in Texas is the same, so that can create the gold embossed stamp for certificates ( but it doesn't have the logo on it)

They don't do that for Utah, Colorado, Nevada, or Massachusetts that I'm aware of... you have to buy the device separately in those 4. I'm gonna have to look into a Florida corporation for my next project!

Oh, and... having designed the seals in the past, they're really finicky about complex patterns. Apparently they like 'em simply black-and-white, where the white areas are raised and the black areas aren't. They are bordered with a circle to hold the embossed seal in place.

In US dollars: The engraving tends to cost about $150 and the embosser costs around $100 if you end up having to buy them. The labels are sold in boxes of 100 and cost about $25 per box. This means that to produce the first embossed certificate, we need about $275 in TotJO's coffers.

I certainly don't have that kind of money! But if there were 10 people who donated $27.50 on average, that might be doable. Since I don't have $5 on average in a given month (I'm at the end of a physical disability claim), I'm not sure what I can do to help, but I think that donations for something like this might be good anyway. I'll do what I can, but that's the reality of it if it's to be paid for.

Well, what is the current fee schedule for certificates?

It's like $10 dollars (US) for basic and $25 (US) for a more elaborate, correct? Could we not justuse those funds?

It would pose a delay fo the first set of people wanting certificates, but, I think that since this is a calling, (and to be honest, most of us are not doing this for the paper), I cannot see a problem with, say, a six month (or whatever the time frame is) waiting period for the first ones to be issued.

Know what I mean...?
