Twenty One SVG

About this design

Twenty-one calls for a toast, and this badge is shaped like the label on a bottle of something sparkling. A large black disc holds a thin gold ring, and inside the ring sits a slanted serif 21 in gold. TWENTY ONE arches across the top edge in pale champagne capitals, CHEERS curves along the bottom, and a little gold star marks each side where the two lines of text meet.

Dark backgrounds make gold glow, and the round shape fits neatly onto a coaster, a bottle tag or the front of a cup.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file comes to 23 pieces with 11 cut-outs. In the single-color version the badge is one dark disc with the ring, numerals, text and stars cut out of it, so most of the work is weeding the curved capitals cleanly. The color file stacks loose gold and champagne parts on the disc, so line them up with transfer tape or glue them to the black card one at a time. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in warm near-black: the round badge and the dark center inside the ring
• Champagne in pale champagne cream: TWENTY ONE and CHEERS around the edge
• Gold in antique gold: the thin ring, the 21 and the two stars

How to use it

• Party coasters cut from black card, cork or wood with gold vinyl on top.
• Bottle or gift tags on a ribbon.
• A round sign for the bar or drinks table.
• A shirt for the birthday person, with the badge on the chest.
• Invitations printed in full color and cut around the circle.

Size guide

At under 4.5 inches the gaps inside the curved letters close up. For tiny favors, print the color version and cut only the circle with Print Then Cut, which suits a round shape very well.

Layering order

Start with the black disc. Lay the gold ring on next and use it as your guide: the 21 sits in its center, and the curved text sits just outside it. Place the champagne words before the stars, then tuck one star into each gap at the sides.

Swapping colors

Rose gold on black is softer, while white on navy feels more like a nautical label. The champagne layer can also become a bright color for a less formal party. See how to change SVG colors to preview these.
