This Baylor University diploma sample opens with an arched blackletter heading and a short line about the university’s 1845 charter. Look toward the bottom and you’ll see a faint campus scene behind the text, with a gold-toned Lone Star seal between the signature areas.
About This Sample
The smallest line beneath the largest type is easy to miss on this Baylor University diploma sample. It reads “Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas,” just under the university name. From there, the landscape layout moves into a centered block of script that names the Board of Regents and refers to the faculty’s recommendation. The word “Bachelor” brings back the blackletter style used at the top.
Near the bottom, the text names Waco, Texas, as the place of issue. The signature area has two titles on each side of the seal. The Chair of the Board of Regents and the Provost appear on the left, with the President of Baylor and the Dean of the Hankamer School of Business on the right. The campus scene is easiest to spot here, where the buildings and trees show through the open spaces around the text.
Customization
For a keepsake or screen prop, you can use a fictional school name and your own dedication while keeping the wide layout, arched heading, and faint background illustration. Custom pieces are intended for display, commemorative use, or production props.
