An anniversary honors a special occasion or event. It was first used in the Catholic faith to remember Saints. We use them now to celebrate birthdays, weddings and even traumatic occasions.

The word ‘Anniversary’ comes from the Latin ‘annus” which means ‘year’ and ‘versus’ which means ‘to turn’.

Symbols associated with wedding anniversaries are hearts, cherubs, flowers and things like doves, wine bottles and glasses. A quick Google image search will give you a nice selection of components to work with.

Here are some Anniversary clipart pieces using some of the symbols mentioned earlier in a simple modern style. The font used here is free and is called ‘Scriptina’ – a really nice cursive, which can be used for romantic, elegant or personal text. A simple double border contributes to the crisp look.







The colours have been kept fairly minimal in these clip art pieces aside from the one with coloured background. You can see that a busy background in this case makes the piece a bit more fun, funky and informal.





The medallion anniversary pieces are backed with two flower brushes. The flowers bring more attention to the medallions, and following down the side and along the bottom of the composition acts as a really loose, informal border. So although casual, these pieces still have an elegant feel.

Frames are fantastic for Anniversary Clip Art when combined with other clipart pieces. Wedding anniversaries can be formal occasions so the use of a frame can make an elegant, classic composition while ‘holding’ all the components like smaller images and text, together.

Copy these principles to make your own anniversary clipart.
