During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Name boards are a familiar item at sports festivals and cultural festivals.

Among matching items with friends and handmade goods, they really stand out—and they’re perfect for photos, too, so you’ll want to make one!

But how do you make it? Where can you buy that chain you attach to the board? Many people probably feel the hurdles are high.

In this article, we’ll introduce name plate designs and how to make them!

From the classics to ideas for those who want to stand out a bit from other groups—don’t miss it!

Stand Out at the Sports Festival! Nameplate and Board Chain Making Ideas (21–30)

Board with a megaphone

We’ve combined a must-have cheering megaphone with a name board! The matching megaphone that pairs with the name board’s design is the highlight.

It’s such a unique idea—you can show off who you are with the name board while cheering at the same time! If you match the base colors, even with decorations it will look cohesive and beautifully finished.

You could incorporate your favorite character, your own portrait, or stylized lettering too! It’s sure to boost the team spirit for your class or team.

Hangul characters

K-pop is hugely popular among middle and high school students, right? Speaking of Korea, I bet many of you want to study Hangul.

Hangul’s stylish characters are sure to stand out on a name board! If you design your name in Hangul, it’ll definitely spark conversations like “How do you read that?” with friends, upperclassmen, and teachers.

Don’t stop at Hangul—try adding Korean-style illustrations or your social media handles to the layout and create a truly original name board.
