Accreditations ledger, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/accreditations-ledger.html Core Patterns (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Logos (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/logos/) Catalogue access Standard # Accreditations ledger The trade bodies, schemes and awards behind a builder, an electrician or a clinic, set as a ledger of six ruled cells. Each cell opens on a short wordmark set in type on a solid plate, then the body's full name, one line on what it inspects or approves, and a ruled foot carrying the member number, registration or year you can check. A display heading and a short paragraph on how to verify sit above. No logo files: every mark is type you edit. States no colour and no font of its own. ## All patterns Search patterns Loading patterns… Start here ## What to change first The six bodies: the wordmark, the name, the line on what it covers, and the number with its label. Keep six, or three, so the rows stay full. The signature moment ## Every mark closes on a number you can check Each cell runs from a short wordmark on a solid plate down to a ruled foot holding the member number, the registration or the year. The number is set as large as the body's name, clamp(1.25rem, 1.6vw, 1.5rem), so the cell reads as a claim and its receipt rather than as a badge wall. The cells are closed on every side by a single hairline (each cell draws its top and left, the ledger its right and bottom), and each foot's rule runs the full width of its cell and sits at the cell's bottom whatever the name wraps to, so the feet of a row line up into one continuous rule. Six cells read as one ruled record. It survives colourlessness because it is rule and repetition, not colour. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - The ground is base and all type is contrast, each a two-rung chain, at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes. - The wordmark plates invert: contrast ground, base text. - The label starts on role-label and falls through to contrast; the rules are currentColor. - The heading is off the type ladder on purpose, a bare clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.75rem). Names and numbers are the second mass; the descriptions take medium. The typeface is your theme's. ### Set by this pattern - The ledger is a grid with a 20rem minimum column and no column count: three across on a desktop, two on a tablet, one on a phone. Six cells fill every row at each of those. - The marks are type, not logo files, so there is nothing to crop and no real body's logo is imitated. Use a body's own mark only where its rules allow.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview The trade bodies, schemes and awards behind a local business, set as a ledger of six ruled cells under a display heading. Each cell is a wordmark, the body's name, one line on what it covers and the number that proves it. The bodies in the demonstration copy are fictional: replace them with your own. ### The signature moment: every mark closes on a number you can check Each cell runs from a short wordmark on a solid plate down to a ruled foot holding the member number, the registration or the year.

The cells are closed on every side by a single hairline (each cell draws its top and left, the ledger its right and bottom), and each foot's rule runs the full width of its cell and sits at the cell's bottom whatever the name wraps to, so the feet of a row line up into one continuous rule.

Keep six, or three, so the rows stay full. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - The ground is base and all type is contrast, each a two-rung chain, at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes. - The wordmark plates invert: contrast ground, base text. - The label starts on role-label and falls through to contrast; the rules are currentColor. - The heading is off the type ladder on purpose, a bare clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.75rem). Names and numbers are the second mass; the descriptions take medium. The typeface is your theme's. ### What it decides for itself - The ledger is a grid with a 20rem minimum column and no column count: three across on a desktop, two on a tablet, one on a phone. Six cells fill every row at each of those. - The marks are type, not logo files, so there is nothing to crop and no real body's logo is imitated. Use a body's own mark only where its rules allow. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### The Styled look bone-and-brick states warm bone #f2ede4, near-black #1f1c19 type and rules, and the wordmark plates and numbers in brick red #9c3b22 (5.9:1 on the bone), with Georgia names and heading over Arial. It is for a builder or a heating engineer. Questions ## Accreditations ledger: common questions Does Accreditations ledger need a plugin?

The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)Stats Stat callout A high-impact framed spotlight plaque: a central marquee figure and bold executive statement sit above a ruled three-part corroboration shelf enclosed within the same 1px currentColor architectural frame. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/stat-callout.html)Features Feature alternating Four feature rows, each a 4:3 frame set against its copy, with the seam flipping side to side down the page. The hairline that closes each row runs only under the text half, so the rule changes sides with the picture and the section never squares up on one edge. Example images are included and can be replaced in the editor. States no colour and no font of its own.
