Happy New Year Script SVG

About this design

The classic New Year greeting, set the way a good party invitation would set it. Happy flows across the top in a formal script with long, graceful strokes, and NEW YEAR sits underneath in bold, rounded capitals that are easy to read from across a room. Three gold stars crown the lettering, and a thin rule with a star in the middle and a dot at each end closes it off.

The contrast between the delicate script and the sturdy capitals is what makes it work on almost anything, from a champagne glass to a party banner.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 15 pieces and 6 cut-outs. Most pieces are the separate capitals and the stars; the letter centers are kept open. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide, so it suits shirts, mugs and signs. For smaller items such as place cards, print it and cut around it.

Color layers

• Lettering in navy: the full design, cut as the base layer
• Accents in gold: the three stars and the star rule, placed on top

Projects
