description	Use when adding authentication or certification visual markers. Stamps and embossed marks signal authenticity and brand authority.

Stamped and Embossed Marks

Stamped marks (circular or rectangular badges with brand+text) evoke notary/seal authority. Embossed (slightly raised) feel adds gravitas.

Stamp anatomy

1. Outer shape (circle or rectangle)
2. Brand logo or initial centered
3. Surrounding text (often around perimeter)
4. Optional inner border
5. Slight rotation
6. Texture overlay for vintage feel

CSS implementation

.stamp {
  width: 120px;
  height: 120px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  border: 3px solid var(--accent);
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  font-family: var(--font-display);
  font-weight: 700;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  letter-spacing: 0.1em;
  color: var(--accent);
  transform: rotate(-12deg);
}

Add background-image SVG of scratched/stamped texture for authentic feel.

Use cases

1. 'Certified' or 'Verified' badges
2. Authentication seals on graded items
3. Brand promise marks
4. Editorial 'as featured in' badges
5. Achievement / completion stamps

Don't use:

• More than 1-2 stamps per page (overuse)
• Generic 'New!' / 'Hot!' stamps (cheap)
• Multiple competing stamps (clutters)
