UMPI Diploma WordArt

[DistantShirt]

@DistantShirt, It's fine being a bit nit-picky, I'm like that at times... I wouldn't worry about it, the main thing is you've got it done! Congrats!

Totally agree, thank you!

Love the YourPace program and what it offers, but I have to be a nitpicking bastard and say that the WordArt effect used for the university name on the diploma is incredibly cheap looking. Not only that, but it ships in a thin envelope with little to no protection. I know the look basically doesn’t matter, but it feels quite goofy to see blue, shadowed WordArt on an official diploma. Is this new with the Parchment service?

I 100 percent agree with you. I've been a graphic artist for most of my professional life. And I was very disappointed when I saw the font and layout on the actual degree. I have no idea why they didn't just go for the standard "Old English"-type font that almost every university has. 

So when I celebrate getting my degree from UMPI, I'll be just zooming in and cropping out that part. It looks so amateur!

I'm coming from a similar place here so it really stuck out on first viewing.

Does anybody on this forum have a relationship with the staff at the University to inquire about spiffing up the diploma a bit?  I'm scared if I hang it in my office upon receipt, everyone will think I made it in Word.

I was wondering the same thing. At least for future graduates, they could easily switch up the font and make it nicer to display. A couple different clicks in Word and voila
