Ninety Years Young SVG

About this design

Ninety years deserves first prize, so this design is drawn as a rosette. A dark scalloped seal, with soft bumps all the way around its edge, frames a round champagne center. Inside the circle, 90 sits in a crisp serif, YEARS is set in small spaced capitals beneath it, and Young finishes the phrase in a rounded script. Two gold ribbon tails hang down from behind the seal, each with a notched end, like the tails on a prize ribbon at a fair.

It is cheerful without being silly, and the medal shape is easy to recognize from across the room.

Where to use it

• A badge or sash for the guest of honor, cut from felt or card.
• A card with the rosette raised on foam pads.
• The centerpiece on a gift or cake table sign (kept clear of the food).
• An apron or tote, in layered iron-on.
• A framed keepsake signed by the family around the edge.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 17 pieces and 6 cut-outs. In the color file the scalloped seal, the champagne circle, the two ribbon tails and the lettering all stack, so glue paper in order from the back, or use transfer tape for vinyl. The cut-outs are mostly in the numerals and the script. It passes our cut checks from about 5.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in warm near-black: the scalloped seal behind the center
• Champagne in pale champagne cream: the round center panel
• Gold in antique gold: the two ribbon tails
• Lettering in warm near-black: the 90, YEARS and Young

Size guide

Under 5.5 inches the small capitals in YEARS start to fill in. For tiny favor stickers, print the color version and use Print Then Cut to cut just the outline.

Putting the rosette together

1. Glue the gold tails to the back of the scalloped seal, angled out from the bottom.
2. Center the champagne circle on the seal so the dark scallops show evenly all round.
3. Add the 90 near the top of the circle.
4. Place YEARS below it, then Young across the lower part.
5. For a wearable badge, glue a pin back behind the seal.

Finishing touches

A felt version makes a soft badge that will not crease. Real satin ribbon can stand in for the gold tails if you prefer, glued behind the seal. For the champagne center, shimmer card picks up the light nicely.

Changing the colors

A royal blue seal with gold tails looks like a first-place ribbon, and a rose seal with a blush center is softer. See the change SVG colors guide.
