The certificate features a clean and professional layout with a balanced mix of typography and design elements. The header prominently displays the institution’s name, "Asian Institute of Maritime Studies," in a blue serif font, followed by "CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION" in a gold and gray sans-serif typeface, adding a formal yet modern touch.

​

The recipient's name, "JUAN DELA CRUZ," is in bold, uppercase letters for emphasis. The main body text is in a clean, readable serif font, neatly aligned for a professional appearance. A subtle institutional watermark in the background adds authenticity without overpowering the text.

​

At the bottom, a wave-like graphic in shades of blue, silver, and gold represents AIMS' 30th Pearl Anniversary, incorporating a "30 years" emblem and the tagline "Pearls of Wisdom." This decorative element adds elegance and reinforces the celebratory theme while maintaining a structured layout.
