Halcyon College wanted graduates to leave with a physical certificate and a digital credential that employers could verify. The two formats had to share one identifier and one visual identity.
What we did
We designed the printed certificate first, then generated a matching PDF and badge asset for each graduate, all linked to a hosted verification page. Printed certificates carry a QR code that resolves to the same record.
Result
6,000 graduates received both formats on results day. The verification page handled peak scanning during the two weeks after release without a single unresolved record.
