How to Curve Text Around a Circle to Create Custom Seals and Badges

June 22, 2026

Historically, customizing badges, seals, and banners on certificates was a challenge. Predetermined text was baked directly into the clip art assets, leaving you stuck with pre-made templates that couldn’t be edited. If you wanted to change the text, year, or font, you had to settle for a completely different design.

With the release of Certificate Creator v5.0.4, we’ve introduced the brand-new Curved Text feature! Now, you have the ultimate creative freedom to curve your text up, down, or entirely around a circle. In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to recreate a custom Father’s Day badge from scratch using blank templates, custom text paths, and alignment settings.
