This is an example of a Georgia Southern University diploma frame. The diploma frame’s design uses mat colors that match the school’s colors. In this case, triple acid-free/conservation grade mats were used. The top mat is a blue linen mat. The middle mat is gold. The bottom mat is white. An opening was created to accommodate the graduation cap’s tassels. A standard V-groove surrounds the diploma and the tassels. An ornate gold-tone frame completes the custom diploma frame design. Using an ornate gold frame is a slight deviation from the standard black or mahogany frames that many individuals prefer for framing their diploma. However as this example illustrates, the gold frame serves to highlight the diploma.
